Good day! We have never met, but my friend Senator Yavorish Tint has spoken highly of your world.

It saddens me that our first interaction is one where I must refute a statement you have made and I hope in the future we may have discussions on better terms.

I must however state that Tint is not being cruelly mistreated, he is under medical supervision following exposure to a terrible Sith artifact that has damaged his mind.

We are trying to save his life, the outpouring of support he has received is inspiring, he is beloved by his people and his friends, of which I am proud to call myself one. But there seems to be a faction intent on turning support for him into violence and undermining those who are trying to help him.

I will state it in medical terms, he essentially has a cancerous growth in him, if we release him from care now, it will soon after kill him or drive him further into madness.

We have evidence, we have shared this evidence with those he is close to. I don’t want to tarnish his legacy by showing him in his diminished state to the scrutiny of tabloids and vicious opposition media. And I don’t think he would want me giving his political opponents the ammunition to slander his reputation through words said in his weakest state. But those he is close to have seen it.

I ask for calm and patience, I want my friend back as much as all of you, but these attacks and disturbances are akin to a doctor trying to save a life, while people throw rocks at them. It makes the task far harder and lowers the chances of success. I have been fighting to save his life ever since we rescued him, please let me save him.
