In the absence of any compelling reason to take the field and in recognition of over two years of dedicated service - and a full bank account - I'll be taking my leave of you good people for an extended leave of absence. Being a capsuleer has certainly delivered on many of the promises of my recruiters - I have travelled the cluster, met interesting people and killed them. Then I've had dinner with them.

Now I'm going to get back to basics for awhile. I've bought a plot of land on Abagawa IV and I intend to build an estate and a family there, Ancestors willing. I'll keep the Aurora Brigade running, since my participation there is strictly part-time in any case, and the Tuulinen Foundation will continue to operate behind the scenes, as it has been doing.

In the meantime my best regards to firm friends and illustrious enemies.

For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.

You were always a good friend and good pilot, you deserve retirement as much as anyone I can think of.

I wish you the very best Pieter.

Best of luck in your future endeavours, Pieter. You were a worthy and honourable adversary, and equally rewarding to fight alongside on the rare occasions I had the privilege to do so.

Keep safe.

Pieter;

I am saddened we have not have time to talk before this announcement.

Please -- do take care of yourself.

You have no been forgotten. Never forget this.

P.S. Or would it be Dr. Shahni?

Tuulinen-haan;

You were always a level-headed and dependable Patriot. Your presence will be missed here, even if I have no doubt your estate will be a productive and hospitable one.

Do stay in touch. I think many of us would be sad to lose track of you completely.

I'm planning to build the central lodge myself (!) so I might be out of circulation for awhile until we get things looking just the way we want them. Once that's achieved though, I'll expect you all as guests.

Truly my heart is warmed by the regard of Patriots, Liberals, Federalists, Faithful and Tribespeople alike. For a community of enemies, you're not bad friends.

Dear Tuulinen-han,

Thank you for your productive cooperation in past times. There were far too few occasions, but always productive ones. Don't hesitate to revive business relations at any time. I wish you all the best for your private affairs as well.

Respectfully yours,

And one of the few voices of reason in the cluster retires. It's been a pleasure Mr. Tuulinen.

With all due respect, Tuulinen-haan, it isn't the best time to retire: half of our homeworld is still occupied by gallentean oppressors. Thre are still heavy gallente occupant presence in Black Rise.

I could have considered some of your actions questionable and some of your words unacceptable, but you still have a fire of Raata in your heart. Don't let it die out.

Honored are the dead, for their legacy guides us.
