Juan, mi amigo, I am pleased to report that I have finally put my familia's affairs in complete order following the untimely death of my father. My mother and younger siblings will be able to continue to live their (admittedly rather lavish) lifestyles on the family plantation - a cousin of my father's, Senor Francesco Ruiz, has agreed to act as our holdings' custodian. I trust he will prove an able and capable manager - I hold him in great esteem.
Now that I am freed from my obligations to my familia for the foreseeable future, I would like to make good on that promise I made you last year, Senor Zavala. If you'll have me as a member of your squadron, I will proudly serve the Reapers; I'll see to purchasing and equipping my Sabre immediately.
