Lord Anthony Grenville sat brooding in his personal office in the Hub, sifting through the quagmire of files regarding the Sunderland Research Center and the duties of the Battleship Grimsby. Very little was available to the Home Secretary, as it was mostly out of his jurisdiction, but Grenville hoped he could bypass that small detail.

Grenville leaned back in his chair, rubbing his chin and thinking deeply. He reached for the console's power, smiling briefly. After the console had powered down, Grenville rose and approached the door, grabbing his trench coat from the coat rack next to the door. Donning this and his hat, he retired from his office, quite content in his findings.

"What the bloody hell is going on with the constabulary?" Christopher Wren, Queen's spider and MI5 Director, and Bowex Head, demanded of Isabel Plantagenet, his aide on the Queen's Spider side of operations...it wasn't a new question, he'd been demanding it for weeks, ever since that..issue.
The Home Secretary, Lord Grenville...wasn't making a lot of sense. Dementia was suspected, but he still weilded a great deal of clout, and had hung onto his office..not long after that had started, the Cheif Commissioner of the BPA, Adrian Green, since had started making moves against his senior officers...MI5 had warned them, but then completely lost contact..Spread thin across Bretonia, what with the war. He'd outsourced to Ex/Sec, and was wondering if Isabel had heard back yet.
"What, the missing constables, sir?" Isabel didn't at all sound awake on the other end of the line, her words were slurred..."They...may well be on Gran Canaria. Not the Port, but somewhere...else. Ex/Sec thinks they've got a trail."
"Right, well, forward to the BBC that Greene's caught dementia, and that the MI5 is taking over the Constabulary...I'll see about actually taking over the Constabulary."
While Wren plugged up the internal MI5 commando squad, currently engaged with that sniper, to deploy to GC to try and find the Constables, his aide plugged in a few commands to her own aids, who called BBC, started a broadcast, ordered the takeover of the Constabulary from Greene, and hopefully got some rest..or a shot of stimulants. Wren hacked and coughed...he was back to waiting, on that front. Waiting for the Constabulary takeover, and then the return of the Constables to hand it to...waiting. The spider waits.
And, today, coughs up a lung while waiting. What the bloody hell was going on with the constabulary?
