Look now that I've joined the DB and everything I'd like to give you a few hints as to the problems with your organization.
Your memory seems to be very poor, so you probably don't remember this--you had a contract on me. You sent at least ten people after me. None of them lasted more than a minute. This might explain why your organization is dying.
You'll notice that the surviving members, at least to judge by their conversation, apparently possess a modicum of imagination and a certain amount of stealth. Your other recent recruits did not. Every single one of them ran straight at me screaming. I couldn't have missed them if I'd tried. In the previous era, the Brothers who attacked the Nerevarine waited until s/he was asleep. Of course you may have been testing out new recruits to see if they could survive, at least after the first couple
And for the love of Sithis, next time tell the idiots to burn the note. I knew exactly who was being paid to kill me before the body hit the ground.
BTW, as for stealing the Aretino contract out from under your nose, you'd delayed on it at least three months by my figuring, because I was told about it the day after I escaped Helgen and it took me a while to get around to checking it out. So I thought you didn't want to be bothered with it. Besides the kid didn't pay enough to cover the wear and tear on my blade, so you were probably well out of the whole thing.
Anyway, I'm just pointing out a few minor problems in the spirit of constructive criticism. You may act on them or not, as you see fit.
Sincerely Yours,
The Dragonborn
