The following was delivered to Governor Helston's office, complete with a basket of multi-hued roses:

Esteemed Governor Helston:

It is with great pleasure that I write this letter to proclaim the following news. As of yesterday, the last patient afflicted with the Rydin Bengu Fever virus was discharged from the hospice in the Old Temple District. Additionally, there have no new reported cases in over sixteen days. The hospice run by the DeAuster family in the Northwest Cliffs has also not seen a patient in over two weeks.

Although it is with caution, it is also with great pride that I report to you that our city's plight with this epidemic appears to be over.

While Rhydin has lost many citizens and visitors alike, we have also gained from this horrid experience. New knowledge and new technology in dealing with the treatment of refuse, the safeguarding of livestock and produce, as well as the filtration of drinking water, have now been drafted and expounded upon by the city's appropriate divisions. It is with this hope that we endeavor to not be touched in this manner by a catastrophic and widespread disease again.

We will, of course, leave the hospices open for one more week. But as all citizens and visitors have been accounted for with inoculations, and as we will continue to keep a stock of vaccines on hand, we do not foresee any new illness of this strain. Furthermore, the scientists of Batten Industries, as well as other facilities, continue to work for understanding the disease and creating a cure.

I would also like to thank you for your tireless attention to this matter and your leadership. This city is grateful for your control and presence of mind during the RBF outbreak. It is my belief that many owe you and your decisive actions a sincere thanks for keeping them and their families safe during this uncertain time.

I am, as ever, your humble servant,

~Isuelt DeRomiano
