Now this is surprising to say the least. It's nice to know your still alive and well my angel. Many nights I wondered where you ran off to following the fall of PLR. I feared the worst knowing you no longer had me by your side to keep you safe. Since you were the one to sponsor me into the organization I always favored you above the others. While your group's ideals and mine no longer coincided it was necessary that I leave. Now that your starting this new group perhaps we may once again rekindle our relationship. With you as the beauty and brains. Having myself being the beast and brawn of the operation. Plus you would be interested to know that I've recently brokered a deal. I can fill you in on the details later but the bottomline is this. I have at my disposal a billion credits which we can use to finance this endeavor. Also I am calling you from a small but sufficient station that is under my direct control. Sirius Rogues will be allowed to use this facility as their base of operations. Lastly I have several high powered ships and Rogue captains that have remained loyal to me. These ships will provide the additional firepower you will need to achieve our goals.

There is only one thing that I must insist upon in regards to my current group the Colours. You see once I left the PLR the Colours welcomed me in. I've grown rather attached to this organization and would still come to their aid should they ever call. It is for that reason that I ask to be allowed to retain my Colours patch to wear alongside the Sirius Rogue flag. Should you agree to my terms we should meet to discuss our plans. So what do you say my ever so lovely Rogue Queen?

I patiently await your response.

You have no idea how good it is to hear from you again.
Sponsoring you in.... I feared their goals would not line up with your own
I have always understood why you needed to leave

I wasn't around for the fall of PLR
I had left only a matter of months earlier - just after Thing had vanished
It seems it wasn't long before Moka did too

However, back to the matter on hand

I would love nothing more than to have you by my side again
It hasn't felt.... right.... you not being there
I have missed you

Despite being as curious as I am....
I am not going to ask how you got the credits
That can wait for another time, perhaps over a drink

However, the station is something we have been lacking
I have not had a place to call home since I left PLR
And it is something that will be required if this is to succeed

As for the pilots loyal to you; Any friend of yours is a friend of mine
I trust your judgement and if you believe they will be willing to help....
Additional firepower is something that I am sure we will need

All I will ask is you fly our flag as your primary
I would never consider making you drop the colors patch
I am more than willing to let you keep that as a secondary

And of course, this being the case, should they ever need assistance
Not only will you respond
But we will be more than happy to provide support where needed as well

I would be more than happy to meet to discuss this
And to see you again, it has been far too long
Just let me know where, and when

Tori, is it?

You speak of future exploits, of endeavors that will bring about a new age for Rogues. That all of us have somehow failed, and are unworthy. But you are mistaken Miss Tori. For those on my ship have bore witness, transports do not laugh. They die. Liberty does not hold the law over me. I hold Liberty captain's heads over their precious law. My back is not something I fear. It is fear I bring to those who do not watch their back.

Correct you are though. Rogues are better than the pitiful souls who fight for lost causes under the title of "Rogue". Rogues are more powerful than those lost amongst the void that try to carve their own pitiful existence out of nothing. But they lack what can not be given. What can not be provided by yourself, nor I, nor anyone. They lack that desire. They lack that lust. They lack the thrill of the hunt. To bathe the starways with the remains of our enemies, and feast upon their pathetic screams for mercy... No, you will fail in bringing that about. Only through pain, through suffering, through anguish will these "Rogues" find the true meaning behind the word. Only then, can what you seek be granted.

But I have news for you little one as well. Pilots will not fear us - they already have fear. We will not rise from the ashes - we stand atop the bones of the conquered.

Chaos will not come - it is already here...
