Re: Potential Activities of Junior Member, Praise

From one thread creep to another, sir, may I object to your presumption in misrepresenting your supervisory capacity over my very junior associate, Praise.

Praise is not presently in possesion of orders regarding the activities to which you refer. Should her mission include such activities, it will be most helpful if this mission remains confidential.

Furthermore, she is already engaged in other missions which, I am sorry, cannot currently be divulged.

May I suggest, sir, that your wisest course in the absence of more complete information (which I regretfully cannot now supply) would be to leave the implementation of Praise's orders to her, as we are in close communication to ensure appropriate allocation of resources and to monitor progress toward the performance objectives entrusted to her.

If however you feel that you would like to discuss the particulars further, and possibly establish such a mission as you describe, I remain available to meet with you at any time, as well as...

Your Humble Servant
