A simple white envelope was delivered to the address of Mrs. Blackthorne, sealed with the Desk seal of the Governor. Within was a letter written in elegant script:

Dear Mrs. Blackthorne

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing this to contact you about your interest in doing security work for the upcoming festival(s) but also to express my apologies on the confusion at the meeting. It was not my intentions to insult you nor the Watch.

I have worked with the Watch for many, many years - Close with Brian Ravenlock and his division on several occasions but with others. It has always been my understanding that the Watch kept an eye on the streets and people's homes. Such things like event/gatherings were watched over by more private security details. My concern wasn't trying to keep you from supporting your district but rather causing a thinning of forces. Especially now with some unknown forces going around killing folks and making the streets far more dangerous than normal.

So with that in mind I came up with an idea that I wished to run by you before you speak to your superiors.

A third party has shown interest in security detail for the events. With this event(s) to be a large finale of sorts, I am sure there will be plenty of work to go around. So what I am proposing is a collaboration of sorts. A handful of Watch members on security detail to show and support for their community, alongside that of C.E. and Batten Inc. This way the Watch is not drawn too thin as well. I would like it if you, personally, were involved in this group but that is a decision for you and your superiors.

If you and your commanding officers agree to this please let me know. If not I would like to know what you propose otherwise.

Sincerely, Kathryn ?Katt' Batten
