How are you all doing? It's been far too long since I visited the Edgeworlds. I would come and visit, but heaven knows, the sort who congregate on 11 are not the kind one is used to meeting. Criminal warlords, deranged scientists, fortune-seeking miners - these I can handle. But lately? Well, have you lost your moral compass completely? I mean to say, I was never about genocide.

None of my business, I suppose. But when we lose crewmen to plasma fire originating in Zoner weapons, fitted by engineers aboard Freeports, it is my business. When you facilitate the worst excesses of a vagrant inhuman mob, I have journeymen demanding justice for their dead comrades.

Our long-standing friendship is in jeopardy.

Lord knows I've tried to make things easy for us all out here on the Edge.

We tried making sure your already tenuous relationship with the Cretans wasn't any more compromised.
We stayed off your ports in Theta and Delta to make life out here somewhat more liveable.
We supplied repair materiel to 11 after Nomad attacks.
We've guaranteed the safety of Iridium miners.
We gave plenty of time to resolve this current impasse.

And there has been nothing in return. It's disappointing, to say the least. You can't have everything, not out here, despite your intentions. An omission to act is plainly criminal and inhuman at this late stage in the game.

Signed,

George Graves

Thank you for the recent communication. I am glad that things have progressed.

I understand how precarious the path of the Zoners must be, not just here, but elsewhere as well. The Edgeworlds are in a state of anxiety at the moment. There are tremendous rumblings in the Omegas. But that may just be over-indulgent anthropophages.

Of course, no one else need know of this, but rest assured the Guild stands by the Zoners desire to maintain the integrity and independence of the Freeports. Whatever resources I can place at your disposal I will.

Signed,

George Graves
