COMM ID:Fleet Admiral Rohj Teerin TARGET ID:Captain Jane Hartman SUBJECT:Re: Recruitment and Retention ENCRYPTION:Medium PRIORITY:Low
Hartman,
I haven't dealt with recruitment in a long time, but obviously this is a special case. And certainly not expected, either.
Were you not so highly decorated, or if I didn't know you as well as I do, I'd likely be questioning your integrity by this point. As it stands, however, I am of course inclined think otherwise, having witnessed your superb abilities first hand. You're both a fine leader and a dedicated subordinate. Just try to act a little less like Admiral Malrone, okay?
You are ACCEPTED back into the Liberty Navy's First Fleet, where you shall retain your old rank and position. That is all.
Sincerely,
Fleet Admiral Teerin,
Liberty Navy First Fleet.

"You see what your knowledge tells you you're seeing. ... how, what you think the universe is, and how you react to that in everything you do, depends on what you know. And when that knowledge changes, for you, the universe changes. And that is as true for the whole of society as that is for the individual. We all are what we know, today. What we knew yesterday, was different; and so were we."
