Dearest Ally,

First, let me thank you once more. Your ability to stand with me as I pass these trials has truly been most comforting. The loyalty in which you have applied yourself is truly worthy of emulation.

But tragically, on to more serious matters.

The Chief Justice has set my trial date for the 20th of January. You will learn of the time when it comes closer, I am sure. Although I spoke with your Skurj, I am merely taking the care to remind you. The attack must be launched as the trial starts. I will see to it that dutiful eyes find your assault when the time is right. A commander such as yourself, would no doubt have little trouble arranging for the timely corruption of the holy vault, I am sure, but if you require assistance, you need but ask.

The Chief Justice has levied the following charges against me, if not more;
-Murder (apparently several counts)
-Fraud
-Coercion
-Larceny
-"Voluntary Manslaughter"

Their eyes are hidden from the truth, unable to look past their own veil of false piety and blessed ignorance. They know not that which they try to stop. Despite their propensity for doubling up charges, not having evidence for any charge save one, and their own reckless application of "justice", I will stand triumphant. I will continue my work.

Until then...

My Dear Bailos,

I should be overwhelmed with shock by the unsubstantiated and unfounded crimes which they have charged against you. However, one gets used to such things after a while. Clearly, if the lightbearers do not like the truth as it is, they dismiss it and make it up as they prefer. Yet the magnitude of their inconsistencies still astounds me at times.

As much as I would like to help you in what you ask, it will be impossible. I plan to be present at your trial, giving as much support to you as I can. And you know that I am presently working very hard to establish the legitimacy of my government in Papua. If I am found engaged in such pursuits, I shall be discredited and I can not have that. I am sure you understand, my friend.

I know you can easily find those who would be glad to fulfill your request. Take heed, however, that your enemies do not learn of it and connect you to it. They do have ingenious ways of ferreting out things. Their wrath will be dire against you should they do so!

Please destroy this letter after you read it. I shall visit you soon personally to see what manner of degradations they impose upon you, a willing but innocent prisoner.

Your Humble Servant,
Lord Thrax
Archon of Papua"
