Honored Subunits,
It is always gratifying to reassure each other that in the inner circle of ours we care for one another.

As the head of our organization, I reserve the right to decide as I see fit. Of course, no one can really be sure whether his escapades will be tolerated or condemned. As long as Agent 23 does not arouse too much public interest, he may freely dispose of his methods. As soon as the wind turns against him, there is no need for the Protectorate in his direction. So he is not given a free pass indefinitely, but needs to be guided in this, so I support his further observation, well done from you to decide so!

Please arrange for him to be questioned one more time in the atmosphere of a certain uneasiness and leave it open as to what it is specifically about, just give vague hints here and there about his all too obvious weaknesses, that will keep him covered for some time. At the same time, assure him of our goodwill. You will know how.

I therefore expressly commend your diligence in having made available the data on each operation, and will show my appreciation of it as always.

Signed: Supreme Head of the Central Committee
