To the Director of Project Freelancer 2.0
Dear Director,
As I send this letter to you from my office, I feel a sense of dread creep into my heart. This Project, its name, has a legacy you are all too familiar with. You had seen the horrors it created. And yet, you have remained strong in your decision in rebuilding this Project and running it the "right" way. And I can respect that.
I send this letter as both a notification and an invitation. We have given you access to the supplies you have requested and have provided you with a Paris-class heavy frigate that you may name as you see fit. I also must warn you that this military hardware must not fall into enemy hands, for it could be devastating to the rebuilding process of the UNSC and to the new outer colonies. I also invite you to always send in reports and to ask for assistance as you see fit.
The request you have also made for the use of the ex-criminals of the UNSC had shocked everyone on the Board, but nevertheless you provoked a strong argument in their defense of why you wish for them to be recruited. You have indeed worked with them before and they did have a strong role in capturing the Director… or rather bringing him to the justice he was willing to provide to himself. So, I am happy to inform you that this request has been sent through as well.
We have reasons to believe one of the former fugitives you have requested is somewhere in the northern Canadian forests. There has been reported Insurrectionist activity there and I believe she has gone there to "clean up".
We shall be keeping a close eye on you and your activities, and I hope you will succeed where the last Project failed.
Warm Regards,
Malcom Hargrove
Chairman of the Oversight Subcommittee
