Firstly, Commodore Edwards, I want to thank you for your warm regards, I look forward to working together in the future.

Secondly, Admiral Van Leer, to put it briefly, it's a long -- and mostly private, story, but I'll shed some light, of course. I definitely wouldn't say it's "like nothing happened", It's just...been a time, you know? You might be aware that I was quite seriously wounded while leading Marines during ground combat on Leeds. After being evacuated from the front and returned to a Naval Medical Center on Manhattan, I was eventually, and not for the first time, [she laughs softly] medically discharged from the Navy. However, I didn't fight it that time like I had when I was injured and nearly crippled, during my time as Fleet Admiral of the Primary Fleet, when the first LNS Anchorage was destroyed in the Magellan system. No, after Royal Flush, I accepted my discharge and spent a time utilizing my skillset elsewhere -- a mistake, in retrospect, but not one that I'm comfortable getting into.

Eventually, I remembered myself, who I am, what I really stand for, and so, I've been back in Liberty since about 827, mostly living life as a private citizen, but well, that's really just not in my nature. So, once I squared myself away, I paid a visit to my local Naval Recruitment & Retention Center, signed some waivers, and re-entered the Reserves as a Captain, the paygrade I had previously accepted from the Primary Fleet after I rejoined the first time.

So, respectfully, I hope that answers any questions you have, and puts any concerns to rest, and I look forward to serving with you and yours going forward.

Rachel A. Baker
Captain, Liberty Navy (Reserves).
