I have a few crucial points and questions to clear up before we even consider the notion of letting a man who has cost us in both good lives and hardware into our backyard. The first of which would be why exactly are you contacting the Legion, and moreover Auxesia, regarding a legal matter? While I can somewhat understand your confusion over the former, we're soldiers, not lawmakers. It would be extraordinarily unusual for me to grant such a request, especially before attempting to approach the Commonwealth. As for Auxesia, while they do maintain a presence in the system they are not affiliated with the Commonwealth. They are not citizens, nor are they soldiers, only allies, and directing your communique to them as if they were any sort of authority in the system is frankly an insult.

Next there's the matter of why. You've had access to both Order and Naval dossiers on me, so if this is about the gate then you should already know full well that I've taken the appropriate precautions and have the right people watching it. We neither need nor want your help in securing the Tuttle Creek site. If you're requesting access for other reasons, such as passage between the Pennsylvania and Texas jump corridors or access to America Freeport, your request might be considered by the appropriate authorities, but not before a damn good explanation as to why.

Libera te ex Infernis,
Samuel Locklear
Hellfire Legion
