OH. Hehe. "Well, I'm not in charge of immigration but I reckon I could confiscate and/or ban animals, goods and other items that are imported," the Argentinean said, musing as he looked down at the table, then back up at Gina. "Or, we could collect it all and hide it somewhere under the pretense that we're double checking the nature of it all... making sure it's not harmful and all that," he added with a slight grin.
"But I suggest we find out what goes directly to Borr and what doesn't even pass by him at all so that we won't anger the wrong people," Tom added as an afterthought. After all, it was really only Borr and his people who were at fault here. The rest of the British wizarding population shouldn't suffer for it. "Quarantine on all animals and goods. Three months would work." She told him.

Esteban offered his services, that way they would know what the minister was up to at all times.
"Maybe I could even 'transfer' departments, make it look like I'm working in the minister's office." Esteban suggested. Not sure if it really was a good idea or not. "No, Esteban, I need my people close to me." She said. "I think the Senior Undersecretary may assist us."

When she asked for ideas, however, a small grin that could quite possibly be seen as evil crossed his face. He swept his hair back and said, "I wouldn't mind letting a few problem-people cross the border without too much hassle, if you would consent, Gina..." He watched her for a response. "That would put the people here in jeopardy. Good people, and who knows the problem folk may side with him." She said.

"Mr. Recard already is a department head. And so are you. He is godd at what he does and you are the best at what you do. It should stay that way!" Kat was not a happy camper. "Thank you, Katrina, but the difference between him and I is that I do not do what Borr wants me to." She said.

However, the fact that Borr was the one to say that she was useless and fire her. Sophie said, "I can make a few floo calls and see what I can do about restricting the ability of people getting licenses to portkey." "Transportation may over-ride you. But see what you can do with denying entry." She said.

It was just downright outrageous. Hadn't Borr ever tasted her baked goods?! For a round man like that, that must account for something.
Apparently not. "I'm in," he said quietly, bowing his head. He wasn't sure exactly what being "in" would entail, but he was sure he could help. No one was going to replace Gina. That Borr needed to just... keel over and chill. Armen Recard...he had definitely heard of him...probably had met him at one point, too. "As for ideas..." Noah stopped and shrugged. He definitely didn't have much to say after the suggestions of others. "I mean, I dunno how effective it would be, but is there anything Borr finds crucial to his way of living? Anything that we could...you know...deem as unsafe?" He doubted it would help, but he couldn't think of anything else to top the other suggestions. "It's not too hard to find problems with things. Or make problems occur with things..." TRUTH: Magical Product Testers could find fault in a muggle picture book.  "Besides that, I don't know what else I can think of besides what we've already heard. I care for the wizarding community, so I would hate to see things taxed too high or things to go bad for them. However, I don't especially like how the ministry has been going lately with...Lord Butterball."
She had put enchantments up, right? Noah cast a wary glance at the door. He could lose his job for that comment. "Lord Butterball..." she said laughing. "That's a good one."

She had caught the general gist of what was going on though- and didn't like it one bit. She looked over and saw Katrina, who didn't look happy either. This wasn't very good at all.
Gina seemed lovely- she didn't know why they would replace her. It was just silly. "I agree with Katrina" she contributed. She wasn't much for change, and change within the workplace was never usually a good thing. "What do you suggest we do?" She asked. "Please I need all of you to braistorm about your respective jobs."
