Mr. Department Head + Mr. Brownhill

I will require 1-2 competent MA&C employees who can meet the Voyager at the magical dock in Portsmouth on the 18th (time pending) to assist with repairs to the ship. Discretion is of the utmost importance and they should not have family or close notable friends who either went missing on the Santa Antonina or assisted in rescue efforts. Please advise.

There appears to be a sea monster between here and Portugal attacking our ships. Would appreciate your expertise in dealing with this.

Please also inform me of 1-2 competent employees who can meet the Voyager at the magical dock in Portsmouth on the 18th (time pending) to assist with repairs to the ship. Discretion is of the utmost importance and they should not have family or close notable friends who either went missing on the Santa Antonina or assisted in rescue efforts.

Mr. A. Crouch

I will require immediate communication with the Portugese minister of magic regarding ongoing issues with international waters and our ships. Mrs. Skeeter has been looped in as there is a 'creature' aspect to this. Please advise at your earliest convenience; I am hoping to resolve this as painlessly and immediately as possible.
