 M. de Charpentier,

 Prefect Naturelle,

 Sectione Quattro

 Control Plus, Diatribe.

Monsieur,

It is my unfortunate position to regret to inform you that the vaults have been flooded due to the excessive torment incurred during the recent plague and that as a result it will be impossible to implement the desired changes in the relief valves and siphons that are necessary to activate the opportunistic bivalve pumps.

I do realize that puts a strain on the limbic systems and that dire results will compromise the program's integrity and jeopardize the test results to the point that we will have to rerun the overflow parameters until the drains and petcocks are freed of biologic detritus and can function in toto.

It will be absolutely necessary, of this I am sure, that you, sir, complete the ganglion report before we can proceed to decode the vaults and access the chemical ladders and have assurances that the vault content can be removed without toxic residue.

We realize, at the office of the prefecture, that this situation might cause irreparable harm to the programs that might alleviate the most acute cases of the sickness but you must understand that without your assistance in relieving the pressure on the hydraulic infrastructure, specifically the gravity pumps and feeder lines adjacent to the escapement valves on the grinders and the centrifugal breakout wheels, that the plague will not only continue to increase but, in fact, may overcome the vacuum pumps thus endangering my colleagues members with increasingly harmful atrophy.

We realize, here in Seccione Quartro, that we are always in your service but, monsieur, you must come to the realization that without immediate action discharges will be compromised and the secondary sexual characteristics necessary for complete reproductive function will cease to evolve and the pubic increment will go into immediate and irreversible decline leading to a dramatic increase in plague related mortality.

Thank you for your kindness in attending to our pressing needs and wishing you a blessed day.

D. Emile

Magistrate, Sectione Quattro
