Dear Kimi;

I guess we already went over this in some detail before we predictably distracted each other, but just to be clear, the whole "Harbs needs them" dynamic has changed dramatically after I saw him, even though, somewhat ironically, the motivation is still the same.

What's your mindshare doing out there, is there even still anything to save? I don't know how much time we have, but I can't imagine its passage is doing us any favours. We need to extract Hem from the Shrine in some sort of vaguely conscious state as soon as possible.

~ Love, Katherine.
