An update on our relationship with the Allies

At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not willing to accept help wherever it is offered, but the recent apparent betrayal by the Allies has made us a bit more reticent.  Most of you know that several of our operations were delayed by the chaos caused by the human/non-human conflict, but most of you do not know which missions were irreparably harmed.  One of these was a mission "Viktor" was on to find out as much as possible about the leadership of the New Company.  After all, we still don't know much about "Gertrude" or "her" advisors.  There was an opening that "Viktor" was going to interview for (in disguise, of course) that would have taught us a great deal about their inner workings that was filled while "Viktor" was working to settle things in the aftermath of the conflict.  He had been scheduled to interview for the position but had to cancel to meet his other obligations.  This opportunity is now gone, thanks to the meddling of our Allies.  There were several other operations affected by the trouble, but this is the only one which was irreparably frustrated.  The secretive nature of the leadership of the New Company has proven very difficult to infiltrate, and now we have to wait for another opportunity.

On a separate note, the New Company has recently launched "Scrapbooking Sleepovers" in hundreds of cities around the world.  Please be advised that these sleepovers are not harmless and probably will cause many attendees to become addicts.  Please resist the temptation to "check them out"!
