Dearest Itziar,

I believe you’ll find hashing the conflicts of the past to be detrimental to any true cooperation between the families of Malta. The Lance does not seek to “share” power as we all have influence in our respective ways. Instead, this is an opportunity for us to use the influence we have collectively, pushing toward goals that benefit Malta as a whole.

While the past is just that, your perspective is short-sighted, and indeed, pride is to blame for the deaths of many of our pilots. Maltese pilots, skilled and experienced. We need not and should not waste any more recklessly. While the Ghosts are content to oversee whatever concerns they have, we simply suggest bringing them to the table with your brethren. You’ll find no revenge here. It’s time for Malta to move forward, and if the Ghosts disagree or if pride is an obstacle, the Cross, the Cartel, and the Lance may have these discussions with a regretfully empty seat.

Para la gloria de la Nación

Mansel Alcantra-Contari
