Bribes and Morgan

Officer Morgan Cease these bribes immediately! There is more than enough street garbage we can simply scrape off the pavement that we do not need to pay for more! If your snitches could ever turn up the serious ones, I might consider it, but look at your recent list. Festil, Blackrat, Hops - these are the worst you can find, and none of them other than poor street filth. Watch Sergeant Harwin

Watch Sergeant Harwin I must protest that the technique of paying informants has been in place for only a week, and I think it has shown far more promise than expected. While the first round netted us only a few small fish, the fools have begun to compete to turn each other in. A good fraction of the gold we pay out, we reap back again when we arrest the informers _themselves. Ceasing the project now would be, in my opinion, _ shortsighted. Morgan

Addition:

"My co-conspirator:

Our plan seems to have had no unfortunate consequences. You were concerned
that some incriminating evidence was dropped by your assassin at the scene.
If so it was not found, still, it was foolish to place the key on a
key-ring with my emblem on it. I am a novice at such conspiracies, I
confess, but no one has implicated me in the murder. With both Hagen and
Truart out of the picture, you can expect little trouble from the City
Watch from now on. However, we both know that there are far more sinister
forces at work in the city. On that note, you mentioned once that you had
one last place to retreat to where the Mechanists could never find you. If
that is true," page_1: "I urge you to go there now, since in light of recent events
they will waste no time or effort trying to discover your current location.
I hope this warning does not reach you too late.

                    Steadfastly yours, Lt M."
