One of your privates, a man recently publically humiliated for beating and torturing citizens is seeking to slander and black mail Councilor Gregor Toboerski. The record will show that Gregor never partook in any violence in the Lower Wards.
Sheriff, please see to it that this man is suitably punished. Councilor Gregor mused to me privately his concern that men on the city pay roll are trying to blackmail the very people who set the city budget. Obviously, this can not be tolerated.
Councilor,Lower might consider you less a hero if they knew what you did the day the stair fell. Slaughtering citizens will earn you the kind of reputation you are looking to avoid. I'll see to it that lower never finds out about any of this, and I'll also see to it that the watch supports your claim to power down there if you give me reason to. There is much we can accomplish together in this. It is now your choice how we proceed.
