Ma'am.

We have been tracking events following the retirement of the Fleet Admiral with great care. Although our operations have lately been conducted without order from yourself and in complete silence, it is worth remembering that Gold Wing is operated by those who you may count as friends and allies. Old friends.

We are at your disposal. You are more than aware of our experience and expertise and from where said experience and expertise stems. Be reassured in the knowlege we are watching. We stand ready to combat any threat to the Republic and to the Navy.

We regard the future stability and security of Liberty to reside with the Navy and with yourself at its helm. Do not allow less than desirable influences to govern your actions. Question everything.

You will find more information within this message if you know where to look. We trust you will.

Zero out.

Your timing is interesting, to say the least.

I'm definitely glad to hear from you though, Zero, and I'm glad you've still got my back.

Some recent changes...have occurred, and it would appear as though somebody with friends in the right places, is keen on keeping me in the dark, using our own damned bureaucratic system to do so.

...None of that should be possible of course, but apparently it is. I won't ramble on, suffice to say...we have things to discuss, and I'm glad you're out there.

Rachel, Signing Off.

TRANSMISSION: End
