. . .




"Melusine, my friend."

"Since the day of our voyage and our shared battle with the monster known as Harbinger, I've been hard at work. Such threats leave little time for rest, and even less room for doubt. The Eye that has turned its gaze upon us is dangerous by its very existence—it sees us at best as entertainment, at worst as pests."

"Soon, I'll have new tools to counter this creature and its pawns. The first of them, you may have already glimpsed moored to the Saverne—a Typhoon-class cruiser, the first of its kind among the Bundschuh. If nothing else, it will buy us more time. Who would have imagined that I would take command of such a weapon... Several months ago, I never imagined I'd ever set foot aboard a gunship."

"The second tool was the reason we made our journey. An experimental weapon that, I hope, will eventually destabilize the beast's favorite tactic—its gaseous form, invulnerable to conventional weapons. While it's unlikely the prototype will be immediately successful, it will be the first step toward our victory."

"I would like to maintain regular communication with you about this creature, in order to coordinate our information and efforts. Please let me know if it will make another appearance elsewhere."

"...There is one more thing I would like to share."

"Most recently, the Cologne system, where I frequently reside due to work on the cruiser, has become the site of increased activity by a group calling itself Noth. While our political enemies seemed similar to me at first glance, their overall behavior was...disturbing. And my most recent encounter with their leader has forced me to completely reconsider my position on this group."

"This man, whoever he truly is, clearly displays two characteristics: absolute indifference to the value of human life and an extreme dislike of the Order's technology. In short, I received death and robbery threats because of my Anubis craft when we accidentally encountered each other. I have little doubt that if not for the timely appearance of Civil Servant, this glorified murderer named One would have certainly attacked me."

"While I have a fair amount of patience for people who throw around all sorts of big words, I find disregard for human life unacceptable. Indifference to one's own kind is a cancer that must be cut out."

"Keep these people in mind, Melusine. I suspect they'll be even more aggressive towards you. Let me know if they become a problem. If necessary, I'll try to enlist the support of the rest of the Platform and... our other friends."

"Including AI, if necessary. So far, despite everything, Novak has proven himself a reliable ally against many threats. I'm confident that together we can become a hammer and anvil, capable of crushing the skulls of these weeds of the human race."
