Dear Sammy:
Keep your chin up, boy. It's only a matter of time now. Joanie's fine.

MEMO:
TO: The Commanding General
FROM: Lieut-Major Roggo Furl, Office of Military Justice
SUBJECT: The Terran Sammy Trumple
1. Trogonommo of State wants us to go easy on the prisoner, Trumple.
2. It is my feeling, though, that in the best interests of Halcyon, an example should be made of the Terran Trumple. The General realizes, I'm sure, that the colony of extra-halcyonians on Halcyon is growing. They must learn to consider Halcyonian culture as inviolate.
3. Accordingly, I recommend we go ahead with trial of Terran Trumple.
