Dear Sir,
My name is Dr. Stephen Newport and I have been assigned to the case of Captain Jonathan Seabourne.
Shortly before his recent accident aboard the Breezewood, he made a substantial donation to your upcoming event, the Baffin Chao Rally. The loss of the ship has hit him hard and he's been rather unresponsive to most of our treatments so far. However, your thank you note did spark a positive reaction in him. He hasn't spoken since regaining consciousness, but everything else dealing with his time on the Breezewood seems to trigger pain or regret. Truthfully I don't entirely know what to make of that.
I know yours are a spiritual people. Since he seems to react positively to the TAZ movement, I wanted to reach out and see if your organization was interested in trying to provide some guidance to the man. He ferried many pilgrims to Baffin over the years, so I wonder if there is some connection there that can help bring him back.

It's a clear case of Grey Face actually, but it seems he's seen the light at the end of the tunnel, if what you say is true. This setback could not have come to his life in a better time either, as Med Force Enterprise are present in the system of Baffin nowadays. Where the love of Eris isn't enough, I bet Doc Holiday can step up.
Send him over. We'll set up a tourist shuttle for him. Take them holidayers on short sightseeing trips around the system's stellar objects. See the inside of the "Pilgrim Industry". If we're lucky, Goddess will speak to him.
I'm overreaching though. I've always been an acolyte in the ways of faith. My master is Dr. Van Van Mojo, Second Apostle of Eris and Patron of the Season of Discord. Once he's back from his little holiday in Cambodia, I'm sure he'll love to meet Jonathan. It's pretty common you know? Rich man gets bored and/or suffers a (midlife)crisis so he joins a cult.

Dear Sir,
I am not familiar with Grey Face, but I imagine there is much about all this that I will not find neatly listed in the DSM. I have thought about bringing him up into space again to see what that triggers, but I have been reluctant to do so out of fear for his safety. If something goes wrong, we would find ourselves in a tight space with few options other than to restrain him physically, and I would like to avoid that. Putting him at the controls of a ship, let alone one with people is something that Orbital dismissed out of hand for liability purposes, but my understanding is that your people are far less risk adverse than the corporation. Perhaps giving him a shuttle will help unlock some of his blockages. Perhaps your goddess will speak to him. Stranger things have happened. I know I would feel more comfortable with him under the care of MFE. My main obligation is conducting the psych evaluations for Orbital captains. I haven't actually been involved in treatment and therapy in years.
We can sedate him and transport him to Baffin on a small shuttle, PuddleJumper. It was Breezewood's runabout that was occupied elsewhere during the attack. Having him fly around Baffin might bring him back. Or it might result in another lost ship. Either way, you can probably handle it better than we can from here.
What are our next steps?
PS - Any idea how he got a copy of the Principia Discordia? He's been reading it quite furiously and no one knows how it got into his room.

If you can bring him to Baffin yourself, that would be just dandy. We can take care of him once we register him in the Fnordnet. In the meantime, please tell him to reach the archives of Brunswick Shrine's library using this datalink. Once he's here he'll be able to visit it in person and rejoice at our ancestral tomes in the flesh.
