3rd of Gourd's Facade, 1817
I can't tell what's worse about being hospitalized: being cooped up in bed, or the food. I shouldn't joke. I'm lucky compared to others. I know Governor Ross lost his husband in the attack, and plenty of other people lost loved ones too. Marwen's son survived since he led the evacuation with Mellon's help, but with the Gate broken, he won't be back for a while.
Marwen's contacted Nero, and has been trying to get in touch with Cinnabar about my present state. I'm sure I'll be out of here soon, but I could really use their company right now. At least I have my other friends here. I hardly lack for company at the moment.
Nero also said he'd be sending relief supplies when he comes, and he'll try to convince the human emperor to do the same. Getting them here will be hard, between their lack of ships, the Zib Blockade, and our current lack of a functioning gate, but they'll figure something out. Perhaps they'll hitch a ride with the Zenithans, since they're coming here for the same reason. I'd certainly like to see them in a fight. They could probably give Red Serpent a good thrashing if they had to.
I am really concerned about what we know of this attack. We know Green Molly's behind it, and I don't doubt that she's going to pay Red Serpent to try again once she knows they failed this time. We won't be able to withstand another attack without help, I know that much. I've been reading up on Red Serpent while I've been here. I don't recognize any of the dozens of planets where they've inflicted their particular brand of chaos, but that doesn't make it any less monstrous. I know my people have a reputation for being cutthroat and ruthless in combat, but at least we don't commit war crimes whenever it's convenient to do.
That Sanchez fellow really sums the lot of them up. I read about what he did on Krusas, even though that wasn't with Red Serpent. Starting a holy war for a religion you don't follow, just for the sake of the carnage? Not even Dave the Barbarian would do something like that.
We may have the Arch practically figured out, but our work here is far from over.
