In which the shadowy Alexandria Project finally shows its hand - and delivers an ultimatum.

...Frank did as he was told, and started reading:

"... Please know that the reach of our capabilities and our determination to use them extends to every one of the Federal Agencies – and to all commercial, academic, and non-profit enterprises as well. Lest you doubt the truth of this statement, you will find that at exactly 6:00 AM on Monday, December 20, the master security plans of the Department of Defense, White House, Library of Congress, MIT and Google were contributed to The Alexandria Project. We will read them with interest, deficient as they are.

Widespread contributions, including donations from leading academic, media and commercial contributors, may only be avoided if the administration publicly announces an immediate halt to further transitions of government systems to digitized archives until such time, if ever, as adequate security measures may be devised to repel all enemies. We look forward to that announcement, with full supporting details, in the very near future.

Very truly yours,

ZENODOTUS "

Hi;

It would be nice if some context was given for this post in the lead section.
It's a chapter in a novel, the previous chapters can be linked to from LXer, or from the page the link above goes to.
