Nya Karan,

This 23rd of Thermis goes, for your servant, as a black amberstone.

Indeed, it was that very day that I failed in the mission you did me the honor to entrust me many cycles ago. Except for it to have already occured, the exact circumstances of the said failure will soon reach your ears, so I will not describe them here. I only want to let you know that your revocation of my credentials to the Federation, if I dread it, would be welcomed by me without bitterness: who has failed has to pay.

Know, in conclusion, that, should it be my last act of ambassador, I will endeavor to bring back to the Majestic Garden all the specimens of the lakes flora I will be able to collect during the planned excursion of the next Harvestor 11th... Should, of course, Nili O'Toolyn allow me to participate. It goes without saying that, should the Federation ask to be remunerated for doing the Kingdom this favor, my personal purse will provide for this fee.

Under your hand, Nya Karan,
-
