RE: Charles Gunn

Thu, 06 Oct 2005 08:43:06 GMT

The vampire was able to retrieve Mr. Gunn before he could be properly disposed of.

We are distressed.

Our mentologists and psychoexcavationists are sifting through what little data was extracted from Mr. Gunn's mind before he was forcibly removed from the premises. It is their hope that the data, when combined with Mr. Gunn's research while in our "employ," will help to develop better tactics when dealing with the vampire and his allies.

If unsuccessful, the department will face severe reprimand.

It is unknown at this time to what extent, if any, that Mr. Gunn's mind might have been permanently damaged from the extraction procedure. There is a slight chance that Mr. Gunn was rendered comatose and brain-dead, or reduced to the mental capacity of a two-year-old.

Although only time will tell, we are...amused by the possibilities.

Send a memo to Special Projects. All materials pertaining to Mr. Gunn's time with us, as well as all materials pertaining to his retrieval and resurrection, are to be compiled, examined, and destroyed immediately.

We will determine later if there are any employees which will need to be destroyed along with said materials.

Terminate

Sun, 11 Sep 2005 06:35:14 GMT

There may be a problem.

Mr. Gunn's usefulness would seem to be at an end.

He should be terminated immediately. Along with whoever is in charge of security for allowing the vampire and the seer to take the item in the first place.

Pity. Mr. Gunn had great potential. Although perhaps this was inevitable.

We are disappointed.

RE: Major League Baseball

Congratulations on your efforts regarding the Major League Baseball steroid policy, specifically regarding Mr. Palmeiro.

Please make sure all paper trails have been eliminated, and that no connection to our agents can be traced.

Perhaps Mr. Palmeiro, along with other prominent athletes, will think twice the next time we offer to represent him during any kind of contract negotiations.

Again, kudos.

Many Happy Returns

Tue, 05 Jul 2005 12:00:54 GMT

The mystics have reported another breach of the dimensional walls. Another ritual resurrection.

This is...interesting.

One wonders if anyone ever stays dead anymore. Even given our past actions to further our own ends. As we ourselves know, death is but an inconvenience to those with the power to circumvent it.

Still...we are curious.

Perhaps we should monitor this situation carefully, to evaluate any potential advantage it might bring...or any potential problems it might cause.

Success

Thu, 23 Jun 2005 08:45:01 GMT

The mystics were successful with their efforts to utilize the package retrieved from Germany.

We are pleased.

Not only are we pleased with their success, but we are also pleased we will not need to extract bits of mystic from the thirteenth floor carpet.

We've had our eye on this particular prize for a long time, ever since he crossed paths with the vampire. Even so long ago, we sensed his...potential.

He will be a valuable asset for the foreseeable future. As discussed earlier, we will place him under the care of Mr. Ryan, who was instrumental in bringing him to us.

In time, he will help us deal with the vampire once and for all.

Welcome back to the world of the living, Charles Gunn.

Fruition

Wed, 15 Jun 2005 07:58:16 GMT

Angel has returned to Los Angeles.

While we believe he is far more interesting than the cretin, we would not have been disappointed had he been gone forever.

The package retrieved from Germany will be ready within a week, according to our mystics. Send a memo to Christian Ryan in Special Projects. He has proven adept at handling sensitive projects in the past, and will thus be assigned as its new handler.

Make it clear we will not brook any disappointments, from either the mystics or Mr. Ryan, upon penalty of death and eternal torment. In that order.

The best laid plans...

Wed, 01 Jun 2005 07:15:44 GMT

The vampire has returned to this dimensional plane.

We are...disappointed.

Advise all pertinent divisions in the Los Angeles branch to accelerate their efforts with the package from Germany. Progress is expected by the end of the week.

Advise all division heads that failure will result in immediate death and further punishment to be determined for those involved.

We are...anxious.

All good things...

Wed, 25 May 2005 06:22:37 GMT

We can sense the vampire. He is not dead, as we had hoped.

That would have been so much easier.

We do not know where. We do not even know when. But we believe his return is imminent, along with several of his associates.

We are not pleased.

Fortunately, we have contingency plans, in the event of the vampire's return. We must accelerate these plans. We must prepare to make use of the package retrieved by Mr. Ryan ahead of schedule.

We accept this development as inevitability. Bitter, unwelcome, but inevitable nonetheless.

We are not pleased.

End of Days

Thu, 05 May 2005 09:01:53 GMT

The mystics are detecting more disturbances in the space-time continuum similar to when Willow Rosenberg returned to Sunnydale several weeks ago.

It would appear those that serve the Powers That Be could be returning, after all.

We are disappointed.

A memo will need to be sent to all employees, with priority delivery for those in the Los Angeles office, announcing this development. Plans will need to be altered, timetables shifted. In all, this development will inconvenience us greatly when it comes to pass.

Unless it doesn't come to pass, of course. That would please us. That would please us immensely.

Memo

Thu, 14 Apr 2005 08:52:01 GMT

TO: Special Projects Division
FROM: Senior Partners

RE: Southwest Operations

It has come to our attention that Mason Lomboko, formerly in charge of operations for the Southwest region based out of Las Vegas, NV, has met his end.

We will need to be prepared for any fallout from his death. Special attention will need to be focused on the handling of Vegas itself, as that was the hub of Lomboko's operation. Projections will need to be prepared for presentation at the beginning of next week.

Please be advised that there will be no "fact-finding" missions authorized for Vegas at this time, due to various expense report indiscretions in recent months.

--The Senior Partners

TO: Christian Ryan
FROM: Senior Partners

RE: Hyperion Hotel

Mason Lomboko was killed by the second Slayer, who had been believed to be in Sunnydale following the disappearance of the prime Slayer. Faith unexpectedly returned to the Hyperion Hotel with Winfred Windham-Pryce to retrieve something from Wesley Windham-Pryce's library, presumably to aid in the return of their comrades. As it happened, the timing of their return was unfortunate for Mr. Lomboko.

Given Willow Rosenberg's recent return to this dimensional plane, it would be prudent to know exactly what was taken from the Hyperion.

Gather whatever information you can and prepare a brief at the earliest possible opportunity. Do not engage the vampire or any of his allies. Reconnaissance only. Information on this and any other materials in their possession is to be considered highly confidential. Your discretion in this matter, as always, is extremely appreciated.

--The Senior Partners

Status Change

Wed, 06 Apr 2005 09:55:12 GMT

How...disheartening.

Several weeks ago in Sunnydale, our mystics reported a shift in the dimensional energies of the time-space continuum. Further investigation indicated an incident, mystical in nature, that somehow removed several pieces from the board -- including the vampire and the Slayer herself.

Although we had no involvement, we were pleased.

Our mystics reported another such dimensional shift last week.

Willow Rosenberg, an ally of Buffy Summers and one of those lost in the earlier incident, reappeared in Sunnydale late last week. While Miss Rosenberg was alone, we can only assume more will return soon.

This is unfortunate. Though certainly not unexpected. We are not pleased.

We had so enjoyed the new status quo. Especially since it favored us.

As a sidenote, perhaps we should keep a closer eye on Miss Rosenberg, if she is powerful enough to breach the fabric of time and space on her own. She could possibly become an asset in the future.

Memo

Wed, 30 Mar 2005 23:39:21 GMT

TO: Christian Ryan
FROM: Senior Partners, Wolfram & Hart

RE: Hyperion Hotel

Congratulations again on your success in Germany. The package was delivered as expected and on schedule, and your labors will soon bear fruit. We are most pleased with your performance.

In addition, we recognize your continued discretion, both in the handling of said package and your mission to retrieve it.

As you may or may not know, another matter has recently come to our attention here in Los Angeles. We would like your input on this matter, as well as any suggestions you may have in regards to dealing with it. Especially if anyone from your department is already planning such action.

Again, we stress how much we appreciate your discretion with delicate matters such as these.

Please note that a meeting will be scheduled for you with Files and Records next week to discuss your expense report from your Germany trip.

Thank you for your hard work.

Progress Report

Tue, 22 Mar 2005 09:02:22 GMT

Mr. Ryan returned last night from Germany. The package is intact and has been secured for safekeeping until the correct rituals are in place.

Mr. Ryan is to be commended for his success and efficiency on this assignment.

Again, we are pleased.

Mr. Ryan's expense report, however, can be discussed at a later date.

The Prussian Gambit

Wed, 16 Mar 2005 21:30:54 GMT

Mr. Ryan has reported in from his assignment to Germany.

The package has been obtained.

Our information was correct. The package is what we thought it to be, and it has survived intact.

Mr. Ryan will be returning to Los Angeles tomorrow evening with the package, and we may proceed with the next phase of the operation.

Mr. Ryan certainly deserves commendation for both efficiency and confidentiality, even though he wasn't aware of certain "need to know" details. Perhaps he will have a future with us in the long term.

We are pleased.

Wed, 02 Feb 2005 00:53:02 GMT

Well, isn't this interesting?

The object of our desire is no longer on this plane.

Must circulate a memo to the other departments, to take advantage of this absence while we can. He'll inevitably find his way back, after all.

Heroes always do.

Notice

Tue, 18 Jan 2005 04:45:35 GMT

TO: All employees, Los Angeles office -- CONFIDENTIAL
FROM: Senior Partners, Wolfram & Hart

RE: Downtown L.A.

All employees of Wolfram & Hart currently in our Los Angeles offices are advised to remain in the building until further notice from both the Los Angeles Police Department and the Senior Partners.

By now, all of you have heard the reports of a viral outbreak of some kind in the downtown Los Angeles area. At approximately 10:20 AM PST, authorities notified citizens in a quarter-mile radius of a possible outbreak and subsequent quarantine. In spite of news reports to the contrary, we can confirm through our own sources that three people have died, although the cause of death is still unknown.

We have been assured that your safest course of action is to remain in the building until the so-called outbreak has passed. Fortunately, with today's holiday, very of our employees are present in the building; rest assured, you will be taken care of until you are allowed to leave.

Those employees who remain outside the offices will still be responsible for carrying out whatever duties they need to fulfill to the best of their abilities until such time as the offices become accessible again. Failure to comply will, of course, result in termination and possibly unemployment.

The Senior Partners are unaware of any active projects that could have led to this chain of events in Los Angeles, and we thus conclude that it is an isolated incident. However, if any employees are connected to this occurrence, they are expected to come forth immediately to discuss the matter with their respective supervisors.

We thank you for your cooperation.

Curious...

Fri, 15 Oct 2004 05:52:23 GMT

There are a series of riots breaking out in and around downtown Los Angeles, specifically near the lower-income neighborhoods. Our mystics are detecting some metaphysical activity, but nothing they can trace; they do report, however, that it's similar to the effect Megan Connors had on her surroundings over a year ago.

We have no record of any kind of street violence or social upheaval scheduled. For today, anyway.

We must make a note to discuss the matter with the Special Projects Division. We must make sure this is not one of their operations or, if it is, reprimand them appropriately for not clearing such an operation through the proper channels.

We must also keep close watch on the situation and make sure it doesn't escalate further.

Our meeting with Mr. Steinbrenner will obviously need to be rescheduled. We're sure he'll understand.

End-of-Project Memo

TO: Special Projects Division
FROM: Senior Partners

RE: Charles Gunn

Please abandon any and all efforts to recruit Mr. Gunn into our confidence immediately.

Also, please make sure all operatives involved with said efforts in Mexico are returned to Los Angeles and given the best medical care.

A meeting will be scheduled later this week to discuss the recent activities of Angel and his other associates. Please try not to antagonize the vampire until then.

FROM: Senior Partners, Wolfram & Hart
CC: Special Projects Division, Wolfram & Hart

RE: Employee Safety and Security

As we are sure you are aware, two days ago, Mr. Gavin Park was approached and accosted outside the building by the vampire Angel.

Mr. Park sustained no severe injuries from the incident, though information about a key Wolfram & Hart project may have been compromised.

As of this writing, personal security for those in our Special Projects offices will be upgraded, including security outside the building, extending to and including their homes. Those in Special Projects are constantly in possession of confidential information, and it is in our best interests that such information be protected at all costs.

Failure to upgrade our security measures in a timely fashion will result in disciplinary action.

Charles Gunn has run for the border, eh?

Memo:

To Special Projects Department:
(CC: Eve; Morgan, Lilah; Fitzgerald, Kennedy)

Dispatch surveillance teams to trail and observe Charles Gunn. Do NOT interact unless the man is in extreme circumstances and likely to die or be turned. In that case, intervene, clear his path, preserve Charles Gunn.

He may yet prove useful, especially if he is put in the position to owe us his life.

Interoffice memo

We here at Wolfram and Hart enjoy good competitive office politics. Makes things exciting.

There's nothing like a bloody office rivalry. It shows initiative.

We here at Wolfram and Hart enjoy initiative.

We here at Wolfram and Hart also enjoy the occasional blood sacrifice, but that's beside the point.

In the dark...

Sat, 26 Jun 2004 15:39:33 GMT

This is fun!

Soul Boy's been chasing me for hours now, ever since I ran into him and his pal downtown.

I'll say this for him. He's persistent. But he's also human. Weak. I can hear him panting from three blocks away.

What a wuss.

He followed me all over downtown on foot. I could've ditched him anytime, gone back and drained his buddy, and he would've never been the wiser. But then, that wasn't the point of this little exercise, was it?

I had planned on just taking out Charlie Boy. Maybe tearing him open and using his skin as a car cover or something. I bet that would've caused some problems back at the ol' homestead.

But then I saw Soul Boy tagging along. Probably looking for his girlfriend.

I couldn't pass that up.

He kept me in check all those years. Denied me -- us -- our nature. Tried to toe the line with the Powers That Be for a shot at redemption, just because we happened to eat a few hundred villagers back in the day.

What a wuss.

It's almost poetry, then, that I'm gonna be the one to drain every drop of blood from his pathetic human body. A body which, I might add, has packed on a couple of extra pounds since I was there. Fatty's been hitting the McDonald's, I guess. He'd thank me for the workout if I wasn't planning on killing him.

I led him into the sewers at dawn. Figured he'd appreciate the nostalgia. He chose to live down here for so long, it'll be like old home week when I kill him down here.

Here, wussy, wussy, wussy....

Wed, 23 Jun 2004 14:24:56 GMT

Houston, we have a problem.

I'm going to find something important to him and rip it limb from screaming limb.

Inside Wolfram and Hart...

Thu, 10 Jun 2004 17:40:39 GMT

I have to advise against pursuing this avenue of attack. Chances are EXTREMELY good you won't walk away from this.

...but then, that doesn't really matter to you, does it Angel?

Wed, 09 Jun 2004 06:25:19 GMT

Couldn't be happier lately...but for one little thing.

Him.

Something'll have to be done. And soon. It's only a matter of time before he notices the marks I've been leaving all over my little toy.

I think some hunting might be in order...
