A messanger arrives bearing the seal of the blackbird,

Senator Lurco,

I wish to inform you that although it has not been finalised yet, both your requests per the merchant ship and the new command of the Legion look like being passed.
It would be wise to prepare for this, expect conformation shortly.

Merula.

Vibius arrived carrying a note he made himself for Lurco's eyes only, he handed it to the guard to be given to Lurco in 3 hours exactly.

Seal of the Valerii

Salve Senator Lurco, The man which I serve is the Consul, Lucius of the Valerii, called Poplicola. His orders to me are to order the legion South, which I have. He tells me that you have his full assurance that the Samnites that previously rebelled against Rome will not harm you or any Romans in the settlement, they are only allowed enough weapons to outclass bandits and to keep order. I'm sorry if these orders disadvantage you in any way, my master doesn't tend to give much thought to others...or their careers for that matter and with the rumor going around that he is missing, you can no doubt guess what he will do to prove that rumor wrong. Apologies in advance Senator Lurco. Sincerely, Vibius Galerius
