Subject: Question.
I don’t really know how to start this letter because I don't cold-email very often, so I'm sorry if this is abrupt or completely out of the blue. My name is Ted Holloway, and I was one of Al Peabody’s students last semester. I'm also a part of the reincarnate community, and in case you haven't seen me mention it on the journals, I was 'lucky' enough to become the host to Darth Vader this past April. When the war announcement came out I warned Al that I wanted to get involved and she suggested that I write to you. That’s how I got your email address.
I don’t know why she suggested that I contact you about this particular issue, but on the off chance that you have more information than I do: I’ve already received a recruitment email. It was a complete surprise and I honestly thought the guy was crazy, so I made the politest excuse I could and declined. Now I know that it’s for real, and thanks to the Agency announcement I know that the person who contacted me was the one who drugged the water.
I’ve made no secret of who my reincarnate is on the journals and I don’t intend to start telling lies now: there is nothing particularly altruistic about Darth Vader. He would sacrifice himself for his children but he’s not interested in heroics or redemption in a larger sense. Thing is, it’s my life, and I think it’s important to do something. If you don’t make a choice, the universe has a way of making the choice for you. I don’t think it’s possible to stay neutral and while it’s hard to know which side is ‘good’ and which is ‘bad,’ I’d rather not side with the people who broke truce and drugged the water supply. That seems a pretty clear sign of aggression, and it’s enough for me to make up my mind.
I’d like to offer whatever help I can to the not-Saxondale camp. I know I don’t have a lot to recommend me – a twenty year old salesman with Vader hanging out in his brain, what a prize - but I know how to use a lightsaber and I will get over being freaked about the Force stuff if it will come in handy.
If the offer is rejected I will stay neutral. Vader isn’t interested in taking a new ‘Master’ and I’m not interested in serving a group of people who think that drugging the water supply is perfectly okay. I hope that it’ll be possible for me to help somehow, though. I’d like to do something positive with my life in spite of who I have as a passenger.
Uh. And that's it. I can be reached at this email address, but if you'd prefer not to communicate electronically I can also be reached at [number]. I have to head to work in a few hours, but I'll check my messages on my break.
Sincerely,
Ted
