* Early on in ''Literature/TheGospelOfAfranius'', Afranius goes on an [[CharacterFilibuster extended diatribe]] lamenting the incompetence of his intelligence agency's leadership, mentioning offhand that [[spoiler:one of their spy stations was attacked by enemy agents]]. Later on, it turns out [[spoiler:the attack was directly caused by CorruptBureaucrat Quintus Simplicius, which gives Afranius the perfect opportunity to blackmail him and ensure that his own shenanigans remain a secret]].
