Your Majesty:
I write to advise of a risk to the First Tradition. Though it is unclear how and why he could have been so foolish, Mr. Exlibrist got himself shot in the head tonight while he was supposed to be surveilling a coroner's facility's exterior with Keeper Wood in the course of the Echelon investigation. I understand he is in torpor. He has been taken by the coroner's office, and the police are investigating his identity.
I have sent the Keeper with Herald Jack to the Man in Black to seek the necessary health influence to get his body released into friendly hands. Ms. Wood's police connections will prove useful in acquiring the necessary help, as the Man in Black is a place where influence trade is respected and encouraged. No doubt Jack will help her make the right deal.
I am currently investigating my networks to determine if we have any exposure as of yet, or if this is simply a high risk. I will advise you when I know more.
