This message is for the Sybarite. Laughing Larry just suffered a rather
serious setback in his business operations: seems someone in Parliament
decided that he wasn't getting bribed enough and sold a significant number of
people to the secret police. The cranials got detonated before too many
beans could get spilled, but there's going to be a certain shortfall in cash
for a while and Larry wants the guy responsible to buy it hard. Trouble is
that the guy is paranoid and got extra protection from The Quartet as part of
his new "retirement policy". Larry requested you do this before your
scheduled visit, and promised to forget about the bill if you can take the]
guy out. I didn't want to be the one to have to tell you this, but you know
how Larry can be... Anyway, we've got some preliminary intelligence at
Suzy's waiting for you, and you can give us your answer after having a
look-see. I'm dreadfully sorry about the situation, but it's currently out
of my hands.
