Dear Sir,

Due to apparent mental incapacitation, I have been granted power of attorney over Mr. LazyScot. As such, your letter has been passed on to me.


The medical personnel treating Mr. LazyScot are somewhat at a loss as a cause to the source of his incapacity, and following my disclosure of your letter, wonder if you might be able to shed some light on his rather strange behaviour. Among his "symptoms" are:
  • an insistence on wearing a tin-foil all-in-one suit with hood, and a fencing mask, all the time (this has provided a challenge in administering electroconvulsive therapy),
  • a habit of answering questions with phrases such as "be careful asking questions, you might be acutelated if you ask the right question", or "the blue one... no, no the other blue one, yes that blue one, over there, next to the fish" before giggling manically and ending up rolling around on the floor in hysterics.
  • he is very upset if his USB key is removed from him, the one brief period when it was taken from him all that was seen was a partial list of filenames before he grabbed it back (the charge nurse of the day is still on sick leave), among the filenames was the cryptic "Who Vera, Harv"
  • at a thankfully decreasing rate (currently about once per day) he shouts "incoming" and appears to anyone watching to go very fuzzy before falling over and saying someone incomprehensible things like "that tasted mauve",
  • he breaks into a cold sweat when anything like a small fury animal appears (generally he is kept clear of any Television Sets),
  • he seems to have developed an immunity and all sedatives, and, judging by the time he found the senior consultants' cocktail cabinet, he is also resistant to alcohol.
Despite the extensive medical publications his condition is providing them with, they would appreciate it if you can provide any useful information. I will gladly pass the such information on. I am assuming that, given their interest in your letter, you would not wish to contact them directly.

Yours Sincerely,

Mr Xander Tortion, LLB,
Partner, Billit, Chargeit and Grabit,
Legal Services.
Yah? Hello? This is the cleaning service. Montsnmags International (Holdings) is out right now and can't be allowed to use the phone. Something about sharp objects and by sharp they really mean any.

Anyway, while they were out, we decided to really give the old place a cleaning. We came across a box of crumpled up invoices written on the backs of some paper towels in a box labelled "LazyScott" in crayon.

Looks like he's past due about A$5,000,000,000,001.23 for something called, "ZCD pangalactic hyperdimensional interfenestration." Someone there gonna pay this bill?

Do squirrels have opposing thumbs, looks like a set-up!

By the way, I escaped for a short while and put under the witness protection program and hidden in a location which, I found out too late, was owned and operated by a subsiduary of montsnmags International (Holdings).

Montsnmags Enterprises, Genetics and Body Modification Division. The PNS had some requests, easily satisfied, but, well...consequence is an event horizon we can't see beyond. Investigations continue. There is some..."breakdown", in communications within and beyond the PNS. Things are sensitive. We're treading lightly. We recommend greater-than-usual caution when approaching any small, furry invertebrate, particularly those on the "cute" side. Also, watch for penguins, and guard your passwords. Those responsible will be found. LazyScot, please report to your nearest Montsnmags Enterprises Security branch - you are not a suspect with all known authorities, but uncontrollable factors may imply a necessity to ensure your safety. The Outbrane Containment Field has been fully-furnished for your pleasure and convenience. Do not be alarmed - we have very good reason to believe that you have a reasonable probability of not suffering rapid, squirrelative dismemberment, as long as you attend to a Security branch immediately.

Cheers,
Marc

You're just luring LazyScot in, trying to get him to believe you. And once he's in your grasp, he'll never be able to escape anymore.

So, LazyScot, don't believe Marc! He's only trying to sweettalk you into his clutches!

Hmm, so, they want me to think they want to lure LazyScot in, so I warn LazyScot not to be lured in. But, as they want me to think that, they don't want LazyScot to be lured in, and they have another plan ready to get him into their clutches. But, now that I know that they want me to know it, maybe I should just act the other way, and tell LazyScot to believe them. And maybe that is the reason why they want me to know that they know what I should know. And in that case, they do want LazyScot and hope I will eventually believe they don't want him and thus tell LazyScot to ignore my first warning.

Don't worry, if I can every get out of the clutches of my current doctors who have currently put me into a fully tied strait-jacket (and given I'm still wearing a fencing mask, you don't want to think about how I'm typing this, but just be glad that the doctor I was in session with had to rush out to an urgent case of a spare slot on the golf course meaning I've been left in the vicinity of this computer) I'll make sure not to trust evil marc. Certainly not since he once dumped a tripper load of squirrels on me and then made a dog disappear.

Unless they want you to think you should choose the goblet in front of you, which means they clearly want you to choose the goblet behind you.
