Reeves,

I have nowhere else to go now. Centcom will soon find out about it. Kingston, the cover up, paying off witnesses, everything. I'm going to pull my last card, and I hoped to die before I did.
Avery, my brother-in-arms, I need you to get me out of Liberty. I have contacted the Gallic Navy about moving me into their ranks as an informant and refugee, but it won't be long before the investigators notice. In order to cover my escape completely, I need to die, more or less. I will be out on patrol in Magellan, and I need you as well as the GRN to 'lure' me out to battle, and for you to record my destruction. I have already chosen the warship Glendale for the task. It doesn't have to be pretty, but it has to look believable.

After I die, you will need to disappear as well. No doubt easy, given your current connections. We will need to go off the grid for awhile, how long, I don't know. I'll be taking alot of classified information with me as well. Along other items, I will be bringing three alien power cells, schematics taken from Captain Kalh's warship, and a part to a jumphole generator.
Kingston survived the assassination due to one cadet that was too good on the tractor beam. I had to silence him as well. I don't want to do this Reeves, but it is my only choice now. I'm sorry I had to drag you into this as well, but you are the only man I can trust anymore.

I'll be waiting for the evacuation shuttle soon.
