Commander Ashine-

Our group has arrived on Proxima 61 on our way to Hanbaishi. I am told that I am able to write to you from Koalitio outposts and member-worlds, so I hope this letter finds you safe and well.

We were able to stop the main threat, and we hope that our efforts were enough to save the people who live there. The crew Mina found had business, and we were not sure who we could trust after that, and we did not know how to reach you - so we left. We hope, based on your warning, that you have a plan to help.

I want to thank you for my time with your Koalitio, for your compassion, and for your commitment to finding our missing people. I do not know if my time with you was enough to definitively make a decision, but I wrote to Archdruid Qihana in my letters with Relodor and told her of the good work I witnessed on the worlds we visited and let her know I would continue to inform her about my experiences. Though I am not traveling with you, I will continue to update Archdruid Qihana as I continue to visit Koalitio worlds, and I will do my best to update you on my travels as I can.

I hope we can remain in regular contact. If this letter reaches you before you have returned to Craia with Relodor, please also let my Archdruid know that I am well and that I will communicate as I can.

May the stars illuminate your way,
Rusco Verel
