--A note is sent by messenger to Ethos Headquarters, listed as only coming from Bledavik--


Brother Ashton,

First of all, I wish that the Peace of God be with you, Brother-- this is a peace that we all seem to lack in times like these, especially those whom I remember back in Aquavy. The Ethos has suffered many a hard time as of late, and I have had the opportunity to see some of it firsthand. Many of your number seem prone to going rogue or changing sides completely-- myself included.

Though you have not asked for it, I will give you some polite advice, as a fellow Man of God: Love, in the end, holds infinately more power and sway than hatred ever will. The way of the Gun will only lead to more death, and the oppression that the Ethos and Etones use as a daily tool will eventually lead to their undoing.

Please, Brother, heed my warning: there are dangerous times ahead, and the Ethos may soon become outgunned; and ironically, it shall not be by outside forces alone. The stiff, inflexible dogma that they follow shall lead to collapse not only from without, but from within.

May the Peace and Love of God be with you.

Your Brother in God,
Gabriel Taisen

Dear anonymous public,

It is to my concern that there has been numerous terroristic attempts and various outcries against the Ethos. These attacks cannot go unpunished, either from an Ethos perspective or the general public's. This is why I have decided to take action. From this day on, I will be starting an investigation towards these recent events. If any of you have information, come forward to the Ethos. Remember, these acts, no matter what reason behind them, are against the law. There is no justified reason for them. Please take this into consideration if you have any information.

Sincerely,
Ashton Relius
