Katherine?

Wow, it's been a while. I'm not sure if you'd remember me, I flew escort for your brother a couple of times. That was before I ditched the Osprey, so over a year now, I'd say. Either way, it was a surprise to see your Comms ID pop up on my screen. Not the bad sort of surprise, mind. Not that I find there's really too many of them around, when you look into it. Most things have something good to offer, in some way or another. At least, that's how I see things.

Can't believe there's another fanatic running around set on exterminating the K'Hara. Seems to be the 'in' thing, these days. So, perhaps not that unbelievable after all, on consideration. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Or behind. I never could tell the difference in conversation. Do they have a front and a back? It's a very hazy area of study.

Anyway, it was good to see someone else sticking up for them, and doing it far better then I could have, really. I've got a tendency to just insult people like that. It's really not a great trait to have, so thanks for stepping up before I went and said something stupid.

How have things been for you and your brother? Last I heard you working on getting a gunboat geared up for an expedition.

I gave up on Zoner-ing and eventually made my way back to Liberty, although I'm still staying on a Zoner base. Funny how that's worked out. My father used to say that the more things changed the more the stayed the same. I suppose I'm living proof of that. I did come into possession of a transport of my own though. It can't fly properly at the moment, but I'm hoping to get it to a stage where automated systems can take care of most of the basic stuff. Everyone needs a hobby, right?

Anyway, good to see you (metaphorically speaking).
