From: Paul Spire
To: Bounty Hunter Guild Core Commander
Heading: Reinstating of Battleship command.
I don't like long goodbyes and I hate washy hellos all the more so I'll get to the relevant point.
The Righteous Fire Mako Battleship I used to command is still held up in the Alabama Shipyard where I left it when I took A leave of absence from the Core six months ago. She looks as if to have been hulled on the port side from some attack and most of the heavy weapons were stripped, but better to use them then lose then I gather. Her engines are still operable and her power core can be up within the week. With another week of outfit she can be ready for duty again on the Core fronts.
The only concern now, for the Guild, is myself. I already know what you are asking. Why did I leave and what is bringing me back now? I have been working with my younger brother following a theory of his and with a group of freelancers tied up some loose ends, and ended some past demons. I think now I can move on now. I couldn't involve my status in the guild to be compromised or have the Core's name smeared with investigative work that we were conducting. Now that they have their things in order, I can return to active Status.
What say you?
****Transmission in standby****
Can you remember the fallen, the Righteous? If you forget them, you lose sight of your purpose, your honor, your soul. You become, like them...
I was wondering where the yardmaster got those replacement guns for my ship. That clears up one mystery. The other mystery, of course, is whether or not you intend to rejoin our activities in fulfilling our holy mission fully, or if you will go gallivanting off on your own course again.
