Regulations
Translation of taped conversation that took place in
<DELETED> on <DELETED>. While the transcript has been
altered to remove incriminating names, we believe the
conversations took place as stated.
<SUBJECT 95>: It seems that THEIR government is trying to
set up a propaganda centre here. That would allow them to
directly lobby our own people! Are we doing anything about it?
<SUBJECT 23>: Don't worry it's under control. They won't be
allowed into the building they plan to occupy.
95: But for what reason? It has to appear plausible, we're
getting enough pressure for being heavy-handed as it is. Don't
forget we're supposed to be "conciliatory" to support
the other "generous" proposals we're putting forward.
23: It's quite simple really- they can't occupy the building
because to do so would violate fire regulations.
95: But the building's a modern office block- what's so unusual
about their setup that would violate fire regulations?
23: Well, there's lot's of paper, brochures, probably even loads
of flags they plan to store there. Very flammable!
95: But most of the other offices will have large paper stocks as
well- what would be different in this case?
23: Their stocks would be far more likely to ignite than anything
else in the building.
95: Why would that be?
23: Well, <SUBJECT 4752> would be paying them a visit.
95: But he's a convicted arsonist- OH, I see...
