Isla,

Isla, Isla.

You have far too pretty of a face for an idealist.

It's all in your head. Past conversations? I'm a professional, sweetheart, have I ever said a bad word against you or your Freelancer friend? Meanwhile, you were out there just calling me names from the safety of a station. But, as they say, sticks and stones. Tachyon hurts more than words, as I'm sure you've had the misfortune to find out. I'm even willing to forgive the "trashy female" remark.

You misunderstand your position in all of this. It's all just market forces at work. Your boys in blue have been doing such a remarkable job shooting up Rogues that they hired me to curtail you so they can shoot up transports for their cargo. You want to hole up in a battlecruiser because of fear for your life? I'm sure the Rogues will appreciate that.

It's all a matter of flexibility, honey. And you have none, you're playing draughts in a chess match. Reconsider.

Yours truly,
Jennifer Haze
