Replying...
Intro. Maria, our paths were charted not by desire, but by the relentless currents of duty and power. I am Commander Colt Velasco. Our marriage is a bond forged in the crucible of necessity, a strategic maneuver in a war that transcends personal feeling. Do not mistake my resolve for cruelty, but understand that sentiment has no place in the command of a vessel, nor in the preservation of an empire. We are bound by the tides, and our course is set, whether we will it or not.
