Dear Stitch Jookiba (aka experiment six-two-six),

I realize that the need to be writing letters has long since passed. However, I find myself somewhat drawn to this ancient form of communication. Having had to write so many for so long, it has somewhat become second nature.

But I digress. It has come to my attention that I never gave you a formal 'thank-you' for all that you had done for us, as well as for me personally. Those days being held deep beneath Turo seemed endless and hopeless. It was only by the thoughts of a possible miracle that I was able to hold my head high in those cells. Everyone looked to me for support, leadership, and hope, as I had done for many years as the Grand Councilwoman. It was difficult, things always seemed to get worse and worse. But I was able to pull through. In the end though, I have no idea what might have happened had you not shown up.

As to discuss what happened afterwards. As you know, one of the RODENTs members had escaped. It was easy enough locating and capturing them all in the Grand Council Room, but in the battle, one managed to make it out of our grasps. We have been doing everything in our power to find him. While he walks free, he is still a threat. I want you to know, that your family is in no danger. It has come to my concern that you and Lilo are worried he might be coming after you, but that is not the case. His goal was and always has been the United Galactic Federation. Hamsterviel would be a different story, but that is not the case.

We promise to bring him to justice in these hard times. You have done so much for us through the war. You faced many challenges and hardships. We have reviewed your logs and will compensate all your work for us as we had promised in our early discussions. I know it won't bring back the time with Lilo, and there's no way for us to bring back experiment two-two-one, Sparky. But I hope it will count for something. We honestly thank you for all you had done in the horrible war.

Aloha,

Grand Councilwoman

P.S. If you hear from experiment six-two-five, Reuben, you are to inform the Grand Council immediately.
