Dear Commissar-Commander Alvin Katz,

I thank you for the speedy reply.

I am very pleased to hear that you welcome LTS with open arms.

By the sound of it, this 'Red Is Not Dead' Tour, with free indoctrination, will be a raging succes. Especially the Shoot the Facist and Molotov games will sit well with our clients. A win win situation for both parties. I will have my marketing department come up with the proper marketing communication to make this the succes it deserves to be.

Of course, there are some things that need sorting out. Like guards attacking us etc. But those are all minor details. As for the 10 million, that is no problem whatsoever. I always enjoy charity. Especially to such fine folk like yourself.

And of course, I will gladly help those poor, poor ever so tragic refugees to get re-established somewhere else.

I do have 1 small request. I hope you are willing to grand it. My experience is that passengers love stereotypes. So I'd like to ask that you have a orchestra ready at the spaceport the moment the Star Ocean arrives. It would make such a fabulous start of the tour when the passengers are welcomed by the impressive sounding marches you people are so very capable of playing.

Please expect the first LTS ship to arrive somewhere next week.

Best regards,


William Anker
