Templar Romanov,

First of all: Let me congratulate you personally to your recent promotion to the rank of Templar. Your avid conduct in the field as well as the care you extend towards your sworn brothers and sisters in the field have been outstanding and I am certain that we have not yet seen you utilize your full potential. Your first steps into leaving behind your existance as mere human being have been made; I also heard that you have sought the H+ Clinic to make further progress in that regard, which leads me to believe that you are in fact the perfect candidate for something I have intended to accomplish for quite a while now. Needless to say, I have been monitoring your progress rather zealously. In fact, this is why I am contacting you.

I have a proposal to make — one that will undoubtedly benefit us both. Before I continue, though, I would like to ask you the following: Are you capable of keeping anything said in this communiqué completely between you and me? Furthermore: I would like you to speak plainly of how you personally feel about the Core's history, its development in recent times, and our philosophy regarding the human existance. Given how you have sought to attain your own apotheosis already, I have no doubt you will have the right answer.

I am eagerly awaiting your response.



-C. Lyell
Guildkeeper, The Core
