Unfortunately, i work in the ugly bits - immigration policy. It is very fashionable to say these days that the new proposed EU asylum and imigration policy is reaaaallyyy baaad.
Gerakken summons one of his trusty Yor espionage droids to his side. "Fog, I am having a difficult time penetrating the Euro comm network to catch up after my long trip."
"Sorry, Spymaster. They are using a simple but effective countermeasures technique: their system is jammed with form data. Millions upon millions of forms. Long, intricate forms, many of which are nearly identical, but each having to go through a separate channel to get processed and then the processed forms are passed around between Euro agencies to be crosschecked and verified. This cycle is then repeated several times, and each form grows longer during each cycle as attachments are appended at each stop. The data is overwhelming and it takes time for us to filter it out. There, you should have a clear line now."
"Thanks, Fog. You are a lifesaver."
There. Now that I know how this new improved Euro comm system works, I think I can spy on you folks again.
The emperor G-Force sits in his office when a lieutenant enters with an urgent message.
"Sir, our communication system has been hacked."
"What? How is this possible."
"It would appear that the Spymaster has returned."
"Ahh, very well then. It's time for us to switch to encryption level 1. Notify all the Euros, we're now operating on encryption level 1."
"Very well sir." The lieutenant leaves the office. Emperor G-Force ponders Gerakkens return. "The ball is in his court now, if he breaks it again we'll simply have to go level 2."
And just so you know Gerakken, the Euros know very large numbers

PS: Following sentence has been encrypted by a program I wrote, let me know when you brake it
Unfortunately, Fog and Shadow both agreed they would rather be reprogrammed as food processors than to break complex ciphers. (Those Yor always were lazy!) This left me in a bind, as the Spymaster specializes in low tech, human-intensive methods and the best manual codebreaking he can do is multiple substitution codes involving a standard 26 letter Engligh character set. So it looks like the Euros more sensitive documents are still safe for the moment. Unless I get a lucky moment of inebriated clarity, and that can be pretty scary both for me and the parties involved!
