Greetings Mr Degroot, I am yet to thank you on escorting me through perilous
Theta and Gamma and what better way to do so then to honor a personal
request from Mr Rowe. It has come to my knowledge, that something had
happened in my absence and that I may be able to assist you in overcoming the
problem that was created. If this is something personal that you do not trust can
be encrypted through normal means we can always meet somewhere, in a
discreet location of your choosing.

I'm also very interested in what exactly happened while I was away studying,
regarding Ms Tantalo. It most be something major as Mr Rowe didn't want to
talk about it without your consent. You should also know, that my office doors at
Battleship Hood are always open for Lost Star Freelancers as well as at Java
station, but we should be more discreet there.

Rowe would do better to shut his mouth about these things.
I have no desire to talk about any of this.


And it's Tavish.

I know that it might be hard to accept what had happened because of the
overwhelming pain you are experiencing, but your fellow Freelancers and I are
here to help you cope with it. You have a great responsibility and a noble cause
which is a burden, I understand that, but don't let others stray you from the
righteous path. We are here to support your decisions, whatever they might be
because we believe what you are doing is right. You are a very rear and
wonderful person that chose to guard humanity against the dangers that lurk in
the dark and it would break our hearts if something happened to you. I know you
are strong, you might have forgotten that due to what happened, but find your
strength again and confront the problem with all of us by your side. Do not fear
the dark, as it the one who should fear us.

Sincerely, Mara Arin.

I'm not sure how I can put this nicely, but...

It's just not your business.
I don't feel like sharing my personal life with you.

If you have questions regarding something else, well, you know where I can be found.
