i assume that you have left nijmegen with the real final chapter of tacitus s last work to return to
normality in london as we agreed it would be best to keep its discovery secret until the collector
has been given the fake by midas i want to thankyou with all my heart for your help with breaking
the midas syndicate the plan to replace the final chapter of tacitus s book with a forgery would not
have been possible without your skill and knowledge i know that harry was a little alarmed at the
speed with which you were able to produce it and i should say that he is keeping a careful eye on
you for now in case your otherwise spotless record conceals a second secret career for myself i
think that if you would be interested then my agency could use your skills once we are sure that the
collector has taken custody of the fake you can announce the real document at the british library
and we will release a translation of it highlighting our secret message on the dark web when the
collector sees that i suspect that the revenge on midas will be swift and merciless we will be
watching and with luck we will also discover the identity of the collector i think there maybe great
profit in monitoring his or her connections in order to give the document some extra validity we
have encrypted it using the hardest of the imperial ciphers that way only the collector is likely to
be able to read it meanwhile it is of utmost importance that we keep you safe the collector does not
know of your involvement in our plan and there is no reason why that should change i would recommend
that you return to your work at the british library for now they will be delighted to receive the
original copy of tacitus s final work as i said before harry steam will be watching you and that
should be enough to ensure your safety it has been a great pleasure and privilege to work with you i
hope we have the opportunity to work together again maryam
