Avete Patres et Conscripti,
First, I must impress upon you all the need to restrict discussion of what I shall report to you in this message within the Senate unless required to discuss it with macronational legal authorities under subpoena. Let's please for once take the idea of the Senate Seal seriously, and not let this matter spill over into any other place outside of the Senate. This means all of you, Tribunes and Curule Aedlies included.
I have just learned that a complaint has been filed with the FBI and a local Sheriff's office based on a threat stated in e-mail by a Senator of Nova Roma against a citizen of Nova Roma.
Back on 8 May, I received the e-mail you will find below from Senator Quintus Fabius Maximus. In it, he told me that he considered an act which would qualify as murder if carried out, since the citizen under discussion lives on the boat mentioned. I immediately brought the matter to the attention of my colleague, Gnaeus Salix Astur, and both Censors. We concluded that the citizen involved, Caius Minucius Scaevola, must be informed. Astur and I sent a joint e-mail message to Scaevola, providing him with the same text you will see below.
