ORDER ONLY Private message to Alice

As you've no doubt seen, Rookwood has written. He sounds very much like his old self — I had hundreds of notes much like this one, back in the day — and he made reference to something called 'Tabula Rasa', in which he implied he is working towards the ability to replace ('cleanse') subjects' minds in preparation for imposing control upon them.

I have attempted to ape my most earnest young self. I will inform you if the line of questioning bears fruit.
