Ms. Lyell, as well as personnel of the Core who defended Freeport 11,

You may not know me, but I am well aware of the actions of the Core both in past and present. Before you assume me one of those "True Zoners" (My god, how elitist do you have to be to call yourself THAT?), I am a Freelancer who has called Freeport 11 my Home for the past year. My disposition to the Core was that of unfriendliness and mistrust until recent actions by your organization, as well as by your superior, Guildmistress Enma Loyola. I would consider myself one of the more vocal voices of the Freeport, outside of Akibara-sama.

The Core has shown a complete 180, from my point of view - You are no longer the Totalitarian element that I had thought you were, and for that I apologize for any prior transgressions between myself and Core Personnel, as well as any ad hominem statements I have made towards the Core in the past, as you have my support and gratitude. As stated in my transmission regarding the Order's attack on my home, Fort Carthage has warmed my heart, and I deeply appreciate that the Core and my contemporaries on Freeport 11 can live in relative peace.

Currently I have many plans that drag me away from home, however, In the mean time I can aid the Core through Logistics and other efforts. If you need a freelancer to help bolster your numbers (Although from what I've heard, It seems you have that down pat from the look of what hell the Order just opened up on themselves when they attacked FP11 and Carthage!) or just need a hand with supplies or anything at all, I am here. On a side note, please forward this to Ms. Loyola, and give her my thanks.

We may not have the same allies, but I hold great respect for your efforts today.

Clear skies to the Core

Granted, I was only doing my work, as was any other soldier fighting today.

Still, your words are much appreciated. There are times in which some of our men falter in their faith in our ultimate goal, which is bringing order to the untamed worlds, and a few words of reassurance can go a long way to remedy that. I must admit, I am a woman of deeds. I do what is best in the long run, even if it might appear contary to that in the moment. Many people lack foresight. I am old enough to dare say I have some experience to counter-balance.

In case you ever find yourself with time on your hands and energy to spend, the Core will gladly buy any and all supplies that are necessary to run our operations. Please refer to the quarter masters on our installations for information on that.

Our work in Delta isn't yet done. We should prepare for the next attempt to bring down our joint station.

-C. Lyell
Guildkeeper, The Core
