It's a field of fraking corpses, Jax. And we are walking through it because the ships cannot reliably fly.

Don't even know if you'll get this message. If telemetry can be sent through interdimensional goddamn magic portals over 160 kms away through a landscape of actual hell.

Initial contact achieved, foothold achieved in "city."

Duration of viability of foothold: unknown.

Resources: uncertain.

Backup: uncertain.

Retreat: unlikely.

Everything: uncertain.

Orders: advance to objective.

Objective's a fraking floating magical shit chain in the fraking sky, we're watching it break the frak apart. What do these bozos expect us to do? Wave the arms at it? Shoot?

Stand here and be cannon fodder, more like it. Feed the fraking animals. Pile the corpses higher, clearly there isn't ENOUGH bacteria present.

Flyndt says there's something ahead. He feels a pull. Can't describe it. But has to go. So I'm going. And Minnie won't leave her fraking Zabrak either, and he's got a hero complex like you do.

Listen. Listen. If we all die here, you get your shit together. You marry that piece of traitorous trash and you name all the Foundlings you're going to adopt and love after us. You keep going and you don't get your dumbass killed being the stupid fraking bleeding heart you are, you hear me? Listen.

If the others come back. I made preparations. Not fraking disappearing without plans this time. You'll be sent a datapack if I'm not back in four weeks standard to disable the automated delivery. All necessary files/information included. Also notes for: you, fraking Kobign, Minnow, her boytoy, Gaile, and Flyndt. Deliver them.

Most important: you have to finish my mission. Find Gaile. Make sure Flyndt gets his brother back. Make sure he's safe. Everything we've been able to find about Gaile or the mercenaries is in those files. So is my will. House has already been transferred to Flyndt and his tribe, it's under their name, it's notarized. Monetary assets are divided between you all. Just going to need you to make sure he gets all the funds/can liquidate the property if he doesn't want anything to do with it. Make sure he and Gaile get back to Omwat. Make sure they get home.

You fraking do this for me, vod. You guard my heart.

Marry your idiot. Make sure Min lets go this time. Walk her down the aisle for me if her and Bril work out.

I love you.

Dear Kirra.pdf
Textual submission

The encryption to open the file, sent securely from Marick to his daughter, Kirra, who is back home on Selen in the Dajorra System. The encryption password is: `clever lettuce`. It's an inside joke between them. Transcript below:

Kirra,

If you’re reading this, it probably means that...well...that you figured out the super, very secret code I used to encrypt it. A secret code so secret that I know only you, Lunayi, my little moon, would be clever enough to know. The Ethereal Realm—the place where the adults have all gone off to fight the ones who are trying to hurt the careful balance of the Force that brings joy and wonder to you and everyone we hold dear—is both very scary and very curious, all at the same time. You would likely find it amusing, and probably be able to tell me all about the different spirits we’ve met. You’d probably not even be bothered by the sudden changes in the way this realm works, up becoming down, down becoming right...I sometimes wonder if I’m being given a glimpse into how you see the world. If that is indeed the case, all it does is increase the pride I have in having you as a daughter, that you can bear the burden of all this knowing and still shine brighter than any other sun or star in the whole galaxy. I’m not worried or scared for what we might face. Your mother and I have been facing challenges like this out entire lives, and bullies like these Children of Mortis folks always materialize in some shape or form. That’s why we are always running off. I hope that one day, you’ll forgive us. I’d love nothing more than to spend every second of everyday by your side, but it’s important to me that I do everything in my power to protect everyone—not just you and your brother and Uncle Wyn and Auntie Socks. And so we go. And so we fight. And sometimes, we might not come home right away, or as fast as we want to. I just want you to know, that this is not a goodbye letter. This is merely to hold you over until we see you and your brother again. Be strong. Take care and protect him. And if you think for one second, even just one second that any force in the galaxy is going to stop your mother and I from coming home to you....

Well, I’d like to see anyone try.

I will see and hold you soon,

—Papa
