Leaping three steps at a time with an unnatural alacrity given to clear presence of performance enhancing drugs, a missive is delivered to the Astronomer's Tower

Destroyer of Djinn, Mathematic Maestro,

Exchequer Sol Auk extends to you both his well wishes in these trying times of absence and his congratulations on your rise over the matters of Licensure.

He comes to you with business regarding neither but the sentiment is lent. He wishes to share -

Apothar. While our speaking in the streets was fair, long it has been since the days Yourself, Your master, and Zenithar Oro sat with Sol Auk shared words and strategem.

As you find yourself inundated with politics and more that Sol Auk no longer burdened with, at your leisure call for him to meet. Alternative to the Water Problem has been considered, and negotiations move forward on Slums.

You would be invited to table, as your Master is in abstentia.

May this news find you well.

Apothar Mevura,

Sol Auk responds in kind, to your generous offer, stating.

While that idea did cross the Business Slab, no. Sol Auk sat upon throne and governed the entire city, holds no interest in "Owning" a district. Far too much bureaucracy, distracts from profits, and more. No, in this instance it is a matter of offering to the populace the simplest fact as the Astronomers knew so long ago over the matter of Divination License. If matters as stymied by the Assembly - seek Sol Auk.

We now take that to the furthest extrapolation of abacus. Not only Sol Auk, but the Consortium's funds and efforts as a whole. To cut to the core of the matter absent Assembly, who will do little more than argue and allocate on matters of funds. Funds being a matter of which The Consortium has available, as well as the availability of alternative revenue sources.  Funds that can hire laborers to build walls, and indeed your new pylons and minarets.

To the matter of the Waters it is known Zaniah offered the most colonial satisfying offering of upwards of ninety percent of water to Baz'eel. No doubt to mollify hostilities over her other laughably ignorant political choices. If it is Water that is required, the market for such can be wholly cornered as it once was for Baublium, and Archaeological findings, and the other vital resources so often shifting of need among the Tower. Be it simply purchased from Baz'eelan interests similar to good Rakim's familial ties, or other avenues of satisfaction. An estimation of how much Water would be required could better shape the scope of requirment.

To the matter of monthly sum, that too can be negotiated among the parties of investment and consideration but 10,000 dinar a Month is not an unreasonable request considering the value of what wrought.

Equally, Fortification for such a Substation, similar to the Souk's can be arranged.

See figures sent and Rakim shall see them read, or seek Sol Auk at your leisure. As matters proceed you will be kept appraised.

May the stars ever shine upon the Exile Q'tolip, who gifts so many of we sons hope to be free of our Fathers,

Rakim secretary of...
