[HANDWRITTEN MEMO ON STACK OF THREE LARGE TERRAN SOURCED "Post-IT Notes"*, STUCK TO COVER OF THE ABOVE WITH BEFORE RETURNING IT TO SENDER:] *(See File MS/Sol3/DW/Summerfield,B.S.)
Apparently, Coordinator, the humans are getting cleverer than you realise. (Hmm, I wonder if I should have finished that sentence a word sooner? No, "getting" would then be redundant. As would, on reflection, the entire statement.) Within a mere decade of achieving the state you describe in your addendum, they had already succeeded in recovering complete soundtracks of those so called "missing" documents, and have been been working assiduously to collect and collate visual information to go along with them.
I now find that a group of agitators calling themselves the "Restoration Team" have succesfully recovered of vital colour-coded strategic information on Dalek activities from a document that *your* agents had... what was your phrase?... "successfully and irreversibly" rendered monochrome! See attached. Can you explain this?
I can. If you had seen fit to consult me earlier in this matter, I could have told you from my experience with the humans that nothing stimulates them to activity more surely than the sense of outrage over losing something they consider theirs, and that nothing focusses their attention better than a seemingly impossible challenge! You would have been far better, in my humble opinion, rather than attempting to delete or manipulate these leaked records to have simply buried them under a deluge of brighter and more eye-catching fictions of a similar kind. Instead, your agents in key positions within the organisation that produced the offending works have zealously supressed almost any output that might have worked as a smokescreen. We need the humans flooded with more of this "Sci-Fi" stuff, not less!
And with that in mind, K9 and I have work to do on our own contribution. Kindly turn your attention to some matter more within the scope of your abilities, and take no further action on this until ordered by me!
