By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?
If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.
O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
(Psalm 137)
Haywood,
It feels kind of weird to call you that now. I mean, we never gave each other our real names, but- maybe I'm just being silly. Maybe it's a good thing, with all that's happening. I joined the Society and the war, fired the rifle that brought that crazy preacher down, and you're a celebrity. Mike Fitzsimmons, huh? One of the Bogdanovists says they used to drink with the guy, and now he's talking to the newest Ranger hotshot. Go figure, right?
Still, when that copy of the Dispatch got passed around, I couldn't help but think it was too good to be true. After all we've talked about, to hear from you, even like that...well, they teach us in Abu Ali Mustafa (heard of us? Not that I'm bragging or anything) that we can't afford hope. We have to know that we're making the better Mars I never managed to shut up about, and that has to be enough. Hasta la Victoria Siempre. Until victory always. We'll always be fighting. But maybe, God willing, we can find the right people to fight at our side. If we manage to meet them, of course.
I probably sound so silly right now, talking about ifs and maybes like I'll know what will happen. I don't even know if this will reach you, though our liason says he'll do his best. Worst comes to worst, that's just another thing we can thank the North Americans for. I had to give it a shot, though. After all, if we can't believe in serendipity, what does that say about the two of us?
...I'm sorry. That sounded way less stupid in my head, and now that I'm writing it I sound like the same teenage girl that Jazz used to pick on. I'm not much better in person, trust me.
Anyways, word is that we're moving out tomorrow night. We don't get much time to rest in the Commando, as you can imagine, and according to the other fedayeen, the plan for this came from Arkady himself. I haven't met him, but honestly, I think I'd be scared if I did. They say he's been fighting since before al-Malika, and that he grew up among the Triunes. Grain of salt and all, but a man like that has to keep the Chancellor from getting too much sleep. Good on him, I say.
So...I guess this letter's for those “just in case” scenarios. I'm not going to make you any promises or tell myself that I'll be okay, but I think that for once in my life, I'm fine with that. I don't have to tell you of all people this, but we're fighting for more than just sending those Nazi assholes back to Jahannam, or showing Zack and the Gorchakov bunch what the People will do to the rest of his kind. It's like al-Malika says. Even if everything we know is consumed by the fire, a new world will come from the ashes. That's something I'm willing to lay down my life for if I have to, and if that happens, I'm glad I've had you in my life.
If not, I'll be happy just to know we'd like the same thing when the time comes. Until then,
Bella ciao.

PS: We all took really quick pictures, mock glamor shot style, with an old camera lying around. Don't let them say that we never had any fun around here! Enclosed a copy, you know, just because.

Theologically, the Integralists are superstitious thugs and La Raza is in the right. Thank you for reading.

(Psalm 137)
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
(Revelations, Ch. 12: 7 - 12)
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
(Ezekiel 25:17)
All that believed were together, and had all things in common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
(Acts 2:44-45)
