I had to put my ears to the wall just for the sake of confirming all the bar rumors out in the Omegas. You're really still kicking and back in action? Colour me surprised, I barely got to see you around after we lost Gabby.. I won't go into detail about that, you know exactly how I feel. You lost a Daughter and I lost a sister and a friend.
Don't go and tell me that you've forgotten your own protégé. If you haven't guessed already, it's Aidan. The continual leadership transitions were a good hint that things were going south with our establishment out in the edge, so I went back to contract hunting for any idiot with a fat enough wallet. I do a few things on the side, but nothing that truly inspires me.
How have you been, old man? Oh and a worth-while side-note, I think I left her wraith in your personal hangar, and I still have an entire suit of yours, if you want it back that is.

I was never truly gone, I just had some alcohol issues after what happened at the Freeport. I also had to recover after I was nearly brutally dismembered and gutted by Jess. That... that thing is as mean as it looks, if not more. I've had some help from a mutual friend of ours, Scarlet. Her treatment has proven to be... life changing. You know all about that, I'm sure. And yes, I have most certainly not forgotten. The Wraith is exactly where you left it. It will remain there until you come and collect it. That ship is yours by right and you can come get it whenever you want. You're also free to join the Ehrgeiz Taskforce in the omegas, or if you find that too "entagling" you can hunt bad guys for us. Under our new leadership, the bounty board has been reopened and I hear they're paying fat checks for the heads of all sorts of nasty blighters.
I do regret how things turned out, but it opened my eyes. The fact we couldn't even recover the body of my own daughter and give her a proper burial changed the way I think. I had to step down and reconsider where I'm going. My tactics not only didn't got us what we wanted, but we nearly wiped out most of our men, good thing we stopped when we did.
Now though, under Loyola's leaderships, things are looking good. We might even broker a peace with the zoners and focus on more important things. Killing civvies will get us nowhere, but then again, civvies aren't so innocent if they support our enemies and break our laws on daily basis. But I digress.
As I said, you're free to come and collect the Wraith, furthermore you should most certainly keep the suit. You've done more than enough to deserve it. Hell, I should send you a few more suits. You should see the new combat exo, that thing has the power to rip open the hull of small fighters, it's absolutely mental. Anyways, I'd be happy if we can have you back in the Core, or atleast to have you work for us.
PS: I hope you've been doing well in the past nine months?
~Yours Truly, Jack Daniels, Guildkeeper of the Core and STILL the most hated person in the Omicrons.

I think you know all too well that I'd gladly jump at the first chance to paint space red along-side you. Consider me more than willing to be your bloodied right hand again. Working in the Omegas is slightly more convenient than slinging myself back into the edge, closer to my folks, got a place on New London and settled down.
The S.I.S here in Tea-land has been paying me to do a few odd jobs here and there, but I know how spooks think at the end of the day, I'm a digit next to a bank-balance, kept within the scope of compliance by constant transactions for what I do. And I'll always hate the lot of them for that, saw enough of it back when I was a dumb kid in Liberty.
Let me know how to proceed. Looking forward to seeing you again in person and punching people in the face together again. You bestowed me a gift that's ensured that I'll never be a slave again, for that you can always count on my gratitude.
