                  October 31st, XY96

                  Ravisuki,

                  Are they after you too?

                  Meet me at 1929-6210. 

                  I’ll be waiting.

                  -Ashes

                  Blash,

                  Itsuki Darien is not safe.

                  We can’t meet there.

                  582 is on to us,

                  they know about that place.

                  -Raven

                  Ravisuki,

                  Is 8190-91010 good?

                  -Ashes

                  Blash,

                  Yes, go at 2300, sharp.

                  -Raven

                  Early, November 1st, XY96

                  Ravisuki,

                  582 is moving fast.

                  They haven’t figured out it’s me exactly, yet.

                  Are with still on with the plan?

                  -Ashes

                  We’ll strike in five days.

                  -Raven

                  November 2nd, XY96

                  Ravisuki,

                  Dove said you bailed on her.

                  You can’t let others suspect anything and miss out on stuff.

                  -Ashes

                  November 4th, XY96

                  Blash,

                  Plans off.

                  I’m leaving.

                  You should halt everything you’re doing too.

                  Unless you want to get killed.

                  -Raven

                  Ravisuki,

                  Why? 

                  And where have you been these past few days?

                  -Ashes

                  Blash,

                  In the woods.

                  Hiding out.

                  They’re searching for me everywhere.

                  -Raven

                  Ravisuki,

                  That’s just your friends and family.

                  And some police because there’s a “missing” minor.

                  Yet, you’re not missing.

                  I’ll come get you.

                  -Ashes

                  Blash,

                  No.

                  They’re not all friends and family.

                  And the police are looking for me,

                  because they were paid off by 582.

                  Don’t. I’m leaving now.

                  Go be with your girlfriend.

                  Tell Dove I’m sorry for leaving and bye for me.

                  -Raven

                  Ravisuki,

                  Tell her yourself.

                  -Ashes

                  Blash,

                  I’m already gone.

                  Following my dream to sing,

                  not to be some spy and take down 582

                  You should do the same.

                  So don’t die.

                  Don’t leave Dove like I am.

                  Perhaps we’ll cross paths again.

                  Goodbye.

                  -Raven

                  September 1st, XXX1

                  Aster,

                  Somehow your friend is incredibly capable.

                  Chai found out where I was hiding out.

                  Told me you’ve gone missing,

                  got mixed up with 582.

                  And it got messy.

                  If you get this,

                  meet me at 9574-7773-197.

                  I know you’re not dead yet,

                  so stop acting like it.

                                          Language is an instrument of great precision and poignancy — our best tool for telling each other what the world is and what we are, for conveying the blueness of blue and the wonder of being alive. But it is also a thing of great pliancy and creativity — a living reminder that how we name things changes what we see, changes the seer. (This, of course, is why we have poetry.) It is the birthplace of the imagination and forever its plaything: I remember my unabashed delight when a naturalist friend first introduced me to the various terms for… read article

In his left hand, he holds a red lined black helmet. His posture is assertive, facing forward with feet planted wide. Behind him is a large circular doorway flanked by two control consoles in green and yellow, filled with gauges and switches, suggesting a command station - The title GREY LENSMAN appears in large, red, block letters across the top.
