Greetings Dr. Holliday:

Your words come to calm me in some way, because I see that there are people aware of what is happening here in Theta. Likewise, I'm very happy to know that the inhabitants of Freeport 9 are in good health. As I've already told you, I haven't yet managed to get any of my staff allowed to dock at the port, so I haven't had the opportunity to verify it myself, or through any of my men, but I'm glad to know that you have been able to do it.

It seems that you have good connections with the Corsairs, which will undoubtedly be very useful in this situation. It would be advisable to try to talk to the Corsair Elders about it, so they could at least guarantee the safety of the workers and inhabitants of the port, and perhaps some kind of commitment could be obtained from them to not battle in the vicinity of the base. I'll probably try contacting them myself, though I don't expect much about the results. After all, I'm a stranger to them.

This whole matter leads me to remember that my deceased predecessor, His Holiness Paolus LXIV, was a Corsair before receiving the call of Our Lord and abandoning his former life. It's a real pity that he's no longer among us, because knowing the character and values that the Corsairs pride themselves on, they would undoubtedly have trusted him more in 5 minutes than they will trust me in a lifetime. I think that, for them, whoever is born a Corsair is a Corsair until death. Anyway, at least I'll try to contact.

As for my anger at the Corsairs, I've never really had anything against them. They're harsh, rough people, and usually take what they want without hesitation, but I've never seen them as our enemies, despite such terrible things they did as the orbital bombing carried out against Gran Canaria 13 years ago, in the Coalition - Corsair war. The occupation of Freeport 9 simply took me by surprise, I admit it, and probably my anger towards them comes from that surprise. I still don't really understand the reasons they have for doing this to us, but as you have mentioned, we have to coexist with them if we want to stay in this system. I only hope that this coexistence will be friendlier in the future than what we're experiencing at the moment. I'm pretty tired of our people being constantly trampled on and humiliated.

I wish you the best Dr. Holliday, and I deeply thank you for taking the time to attend my concerns. I also appreciate that you commit to keeping me informed of the progress you make, I'll also keep you updated, if I manage to do something. And, of course, don't hesitate to ask us for help, if you need it for anything.

Deux be with you.
