Memo from Colonel Grainger: Mel's take

Major Hong,

I'm not an owner, or much of a shareholder, so my call may not account for much. But speaking as the pilot, I would reckon that being square with the Alliance would cause fewer problems for our group down the line. Having said that, is there no way we could reduce the fine? We went through a lot to get that rascal, and it don't sit right with me that the Alliance should nab most of our take for us taking all the pain and having to bury poor Jasmine to boot.

Still, I'll agree with what the team comes up with!! Even without this bit of cash, we should be able to fuel up and get our next job.

Cheers,

-Mel O'Malley
