Order Only Private Message to Macnair

[alt_severus]

Our discussion of yesterday evening has made me realise once again it is almost certainly time for you and I to make some contingency plans, in the event the Order is unable -- or, more likely, unwilling -- to do what needs to be done to achieve the ends they profess to desire. While Alice Longbottom is less likely to stand around wringing her hands and bleating about morals than certain others might, I agree with you it is unlikely any of that lot will be likely to fully accept the blatantly obvious conclusion that this war will not be won with purely clean hands.

I also appreciate your offer to be the one to propose the necessary actions rather than requiring us to fight through the instinctive reactions of certain members of that company to firmly attest the sky is green simply because I have stated it is blue.
