A sealed missive of some importance to Sorazin Bey [DM]

[caesaropapist]

  TO
      BEY SORAZIN,

FROM THE OFFICE OF ACHAEUS SAENUS

I am not apprised of the internal management of Legion affairs, nor do I believe I speak with sufficient authority to dictate the management of your men; but I have been faced with conduct beyond appalling from one of your own Lieutenants. Conduct that must not become known of by the public for even its' public admission would demonstrate extreme danger to the state, and am left with no recourse but to look to you.

Lieutenant Colmes let slip information crucial to the war that was saved from falling into enemy hands purely by my negotiation and the quick action of a well-placed Consulate agent. Our entire war-front, down to the very last soldier at the fore of our ranks, had a legitimate threat to their lives as a result of this miscarriage of duty regarding the Arslan Contingency.

My term is ending and I had, for a moment, thought of turning towards service in the Sultan's Fourth, but the unconscionability of these affairs has left the image of the Legion deeply stained by a level of ineptitude that is both gross and disturbing. I convey this to you not as a demand, but as a hope that you are aware and considering the future of the Fourth Legion.

If for some reason this warrants discussion face to face, I will remain available for some days.

WITH GREAT DISCRETION,
ACHAEUS SAENUS
