PRIORITY: CRITICAL

Admiral West, hello. The message is expected, but the contents are a welcome surprise.

There's no conflict of affiliations. The fight was never personal for me, so don't worry about that. Still, I can't help but admit it's taken me a long time to understand why people disliked Liberty so much. Maybe I could have done more if I had realized it sooner, but I'm here now. Nevertheless, I'm relieved that you're not using this to try to sway me to any side.

Rest assured that I don't intend for this to be a one-off event, and I intend to make Liberty pay for every life that they take in Pennsylvania, whether on Erie or in orbit. They've caused enough suffering as it is, and I will not stand for it. You're right that the Zoners can't win this battle--I think everyone knows that. And that's exactly why I had to speak. To hear your gratitude here only encourages me. I'm grateful for your show of support.

I expect there will be a lot more work to be done in the future. I can't make any promises about anything right now. You probably understand why. But leave the channel open.

Hayes out.
