Subject: Moira would be beating me...
I'm supposed to be sleeping. But I feel like crap tonight and the inactivity is getting to me.
You've caught the references on the journals to what's going on with Sabretooth, this Senator, and one of the students here, right? There's some talk now about coordinating with the government to do something about him.
The only thing is, from what I understood (prior to our Russian adventure and my little swim, after which I seem to have lost the bulk of the week, and was I sending you strange emails?), we gave the government rather a lot of new information after the incident at the rally. I'm guessing that there wouldn't really have been a lot of time to work that new information into the existing profile. This is all happening very fast.
I suppose what I'm asking is whether you might help us out. Being able to present conclusions from our data might help us convince the government to let us in on what I'm not going to call fun, even on my sickbed. I get the sense you'll probably want to smack me for asking, and, well, you can do that the next time we have lunch. But if you're okay with the idea of helping out prior to getting the opportunity to smack me, as Moira's not letting me out of the house for at least another few days, let me know? I can point Garrison at you. Did you meet him? You'll like him, if not. He's very Canadian.
Okay. I think I need to go to bed now. Call me tomorrow? I can croak back at you when you call me an idiot.

I plead innocent, lawyer title here, sir.
