BobPage to WaltonSimons :: Your appointment to FEMA should be finalized within the week.  I've
  already discussed the matter with the Senator.
WaltonSimons to BobPage :: I take it he was agreeable?
BobPage to WaltonSimons :: He didn't really have a choice.
WaltonSimons to BobPage :: Has he been infected?
BobPage to WaltonSimons :: Oh, yes, most certainly.  When I mentioned that we could put him on the
  priority list for the Ambrosia vaccine, he was so willing it was almost pathetic.
WaltonSimons to BobPage :: This plague -- the rioting is intensifying to the point where we may not
  be able to contain it.
BobPage to WaltonSimons :: Why contain it?  Let it spill over into the schools and churches, let the
  bodies pile up in the streets.  In the end, they'll beg us to save them.
WaltonSimons to BobPage :: I've received reports of armed attacks on shipments.  There's not enough
  vaccine to go around, and the underclasses are starting to get desperate.
BobPage to WaltonSimons :: Of course they're desperate.  They can smell their death, and the sound
  they'll make rattling their cage will serve as a warning to the rest.
WaltonSimons to BobPage :: Mmm.  I hope you're not underestimating the problem.  The others may not
  go as quietly as you think -- intelligence indicates they're behind the problems in Paris.
BobPage to WaltonSimons :: A bunch of pretentious old men playing at running the world.
BobPage to WaltonSimons :: But the world left them behind long ago.  We are the future.
WaltonSimons to BobPage :: We have other problems.
BobPage to WaltonSimons :: UNATCO?
WaltonSimons to BobPage :: Formed by executive order after the terrorist strike on the Statue.  I
  have someone in place, though.  I'm more concerned about Savage -- he's relocated to Vandenberg.
BobPage to WaltonSimons :: Our biochem corpus is far in advance of theirs, as is our electronic
  sentience.  And their...ethical inflexibility has allowed us to make progress in areas they refuse
  to consider.
WaltonSimons to BobPage :: The augmentation project?
BobPage to WaltonSimons :: Among other things -- but I must admit that I've been somewhat
  disappointed in the performance of the primary unit.
WaltonSimons to BobPage :: The secondary unit should be online soon.  He's currently undergoing
  preparation and will be operational within six months.  My people will continue to report on his
  progress.  If necessary, the primary will be terminated.
BobPage to WaltonSimons :: We've had to endure much, you and I, but soon there will be order again,
  a new age.  Aquinas spoke of the mythical City on the Hill.  Soon that city will be a reality, and
  we will be crowned its kings.
BobPage to WaltonSimons :: Or better than kings.  Gods.
