Your people showed up a little while ago.

It's great timing considering current events, but you were obviously keeping tabs on that.

And since no one else will say this - thank you for helping us protect our home.

Damien,

It's a bit hard to keep tabs on the region from so far away, but I will make do. Before you ask, no, I did not become a wealthy man during the time that has passed. I did fix the reactor of the ship you saw with a paperclip. It might have been two paperclips now that I think about it.

It's the least I could do.
