TO: Angelina Reyes

Stay in Columbia until further notice. I want you and the family safe. Will update when I can.
TO: MJ
SUBJECT: Not Yet
As soon as it’s safe, you’ll be the first I bring in to meet them. Be patient. You’ll do great.
TO: Beks
SUBJECT: Hold Position
Same as MJ. Once I’m sure the scene’s stable, you can meet the alien princess. Just kidding, not a princess. Be nice to your mom. Give your dad shit.

Peaceful first contact confirmed at Freehold Homestead. Will host friendly delegations. Expect handoff of comms to subordinate team for next 48 hours. Usual Freehold proxies have authorization to act in my name.
TO: Doug Meyers
SUBJECT: Timing
Getting trolled by cubs loving Jesuits must be tough. Your contact is Journey Chakrobarty. She handling message traffic for me and Pam. Columbia may get burnt to the ground they locked Angelina inside with their stupid quarantine. Fuckers didn’t consult me.
TO: Lucy de España
SUBJECT: Friendship
International friends are good. The sort you can sit on the porch and drink Manhattans with 80 YO Bourbon with are priceless. Until the end. Tell Martin to prepare for another fishing trip with aliens late summer. Give Kista my love. What is the appropriate gift from a godfather to a newly risen Princess of the Austruias?
TO: Otis P. Wenlock, Esq.
SUBJECT: Authority & Contingency
Effective immediately, I speak for the V’ren delegation, as anticipated. Send updated terms for Amazon now. If I die, initiate Protocol:Beks via house AI. No delays.
