Isa:
Thank you for answering my questions - even that pointlessly hypothetical one about the Terran-Cyvrian War (I'm sorry but I could not resist to ask your opinion).
"No offense taken, at least it's reassuring to see that there are still Terrans who know how to show poper decorum on occasions."
Yes, I fear the proper discipline and education have fallen out of fashion these days. Just because it was those virtues that helped to the greatest attrocities of terran history.
The Cyvrians are turely blessed to have never seen the monsters that can be created once the psyche turns its greatest achivments to plunge itself into the depth of barabrism.
"I must add that I appreciate that you see through Crystal's little shroud of fame just because she was in the right position at the right time. It was indeed wise that you waited, so you could ask these questions to an actual competent soldier."
You flatter me.
But every man with half a brain and a set of good eyes could seperate one blessed by the universe's n-dimensional toss of the m-faced coin form a true achiver. And considering I was able to read through your military record.... *stops* Oh, please believe me that I'm deply sorry for the intrusion but I had to do my research to be sure.
(To make up for my transgression I'll send you data that will allow you to track down that black market trader who sold it to me as soon as the opportunity arises; I believe he had a lot more in stock about your person than just that file. - Oh, and before you ask the file was authentic; I can't tell for sure about those other items as well... they were of a rather secondary priority to me at best. I'm too much a man of the mind.)
On a side note:
Out of passing curiosity I originally intended to use that file the create a statistical model that would have placed you in Crystal's place. However somewhere during the initial set-up I came to the conclusion that no mathematical model could ever match you in person; it'd fail at every turn: your great insight, your sound judgement and last put not least your charming looks would never have been reflected by the machine running through all the equations.
"A book that was only recently released has quickly managed to become my favorite piece of literature, it's called: 'Galaxy domination for dummies, a ten step guide for the Cyrvan race to conquer and rule all other known sentient races'. It might be somewhat hard to come by though, it's rather controversial."
Curious that someone would write a book about the subject....
It would be easier (with a large enough control group of course) to read it directly from the genome of a Her... *stops* Oh, I forgot, the Cyvrians have denied themselves the high persuit of Genetics.
I hope you do not take offense that I've even mentioned this taboo of your culture. And please don't think of me as somekind of monster for talking of a quest of knowledge your people have rejected for their reasons.
In a galaxy of like this, those with pure motives just don't have the liberty of choosing the purest means to see their ideals blossom to beauty in material perfection - Wouldn't you agree?
If you would still indulge me another time, I've just aquired said book - a digital copy of a first edition volume. Maybe after I have finished reading would you care to initiate me into the controversy about it in the Cyvrian society?
With with all the best wishes,

ps. I'm about to ask Crystal a question, you might want to listen in - I think you would enjoy the resulting dialogue in full
Crystal:
Just out of a passing curiosity:
Was there a way to destroy the Hertak flagship that didn't involve disinitegrating their entrie ruling caste? Surely both LSF and CSA would have had a use for prisoners of war...
Tempest:
Do you know what could earn you a lot of money? - Selling me Dawn's complete medical record; there should be a copy stored somewhere in the 1st JGASF's data-net... All you need is to access it with your authorisation code and foward it to me...
