Greetings. Recent events were necessarily exaggerated, for purposes of survival. I apologize for any undue concern my disappearance may have caused, but in matters of self-preservation I plead necessity. Events were beginning to unfold in Cularin that required I remove myself from them, to research them more thoroughly. I knew Markus was returning with his ‘darkstaff,’ and knew that I must do my part to stop him from doing the will of that thing. It must be destroyed.
I believe I have learned how to accomplish this goal, but the information cannot be safely transmitted, nor can I act on it without my organization’s infrastructure in place. The Hutt did not take my life, only my ability to function as effectively as I once did. I need your assistance for this, our most critical mission. If Markus is not stopped, I believe he may kill every living creature in Cularin. I cannot allow this. I am asking you, and others whom I trust or whose reputations precede them, to help me destroy the darkstaff and stop Len Markus. Please come to me in the Belt. A ship awaits you in Hedrett, hangar 318. Take it, or don’t, but I have left the coordinates where you may find me on the ship.
Come to me soon. Cularin depends on you.
