At the governor’s office Labienus is met by one of the cadets in Hirtius’ staff.

“I am sorry, sir, Hirtius is on a tour of his provinces. You might consider using Caesar’s Couriers to get a hold of him, or you could try and catch him up,” said the young soldier.

“Where is he headed?” asked Titus.

“He is en route to Gades.”

“Alright…” said Labienus.

OOC: Labienus has two options now, he can either start writing to Aulus or simply ride to catch up with him.

N.B. Flavia- Caesar’s Couriers was originally created as a way to have rapid communication between players at great distances. As opposed to letters which, when posted, are supposed to have a ‘lag time’ before they actually reach their recipient. However, most of us treat them more or less as instant communication amongst players, so the ‘Couriers’ are somewhat redundant. They are mostly for military correspondence at this point.

As they are a product of Caesar’s, naturally the ‘network’ has only extended into provinces which are under the Caesarean Republic’s control. Except Africa and Sicilia, which are not connected by land and thus are out of the loop.

Perhaps now, though, we will start enforcing the lag time for letters. We will see. For more information on the ‘Couriers,’ as they are oft called, see the link above and also this post for more info on the nature of the ‘Couriers.’ For an example of the format when writing via the ‘Couriers’ you can look at this.
