You slowly and methodically go through the report and then re-read it, absorbing the information contained in the three pages of terse writing. When you are satisfied you have extracting what utility you can from the document and the unlabeled map, you return them both to the Manila folder.
You read the brief, just like they wanted you to, Genya. The question now is: Did you believe it? Do you believe them?
>Antegrians are constitutionally incapable of lying. The report is guaranteed to be true because the government would not lie, certainly not to its own men.
>You are not a political beast by nature, but one does not reach lieutenant general without some guile. The report is certain to contain some falsehoods, but it is important – politically important – that you act as though every word of it is true.
>Like men, the brief contains a measure of truth and a measure of falsity. It has been your great gift to take what is good in a man and make use of it. You will do the same with this report, making use of what you can.
>All governments lie and Antegria more than most. The brief bears all the hallmarks of government propaganda riddled with falsehood and exaggeration. Still, they probably didn’t invent all the facts… probably.
>Like everything out of a politician’s mouth, the brief is composed solely of lies and fantastical propaganda bearing no connection to reality. You wouldn’t be surprised if they faked the map too.
