Commander Orzorga, Please reconsider my offer of reinstatement. You are more than capable of commanding the Irregulars. I can think of no finer an officer, and I've been through so many. What happened on the shores of Lake Rumare is a tragedy, but it is a lesson every officer must learn. Soldiers are a resource like any other, to be expended as one would the ammunition for siege weapons or the feed for horses. They are a matter of logistics—nothing more. Think on my words. The White-Gold Tower is within our grasp.
