[The following is written in crisp text, but it's quite different in tone from Slipstream's last letter. She's had a bit of time to adjust and this is a call for diplomacy. It's in the context of her field, but still, she's used to working with already-bonded and trained troops.]
This goes out to all of those, native or otherwise, who are able and willing to help me form a task force charged with defending the populous from significant threats. We have quite a few newcomers from different worlds, myself included, and there is always the possibility that something dangerous will happen either due to whatever anomaly has brought us here, newcomers themselves, or natural circumstances originating from this world in particular. I believe it is our duty to protect those who will need it, but I have no intention of attempting conscription. I would prefer to protect, not frighten.
I do expect loyalty, flexibility, and cooperation between those of us who choose to band together, however. Division and infighting will weaken us as a unit and render us less fit to address any potential problems. I will direct and oversee any training needed for those willing but untrained in the ways of battle.
To those interested, I will be available by mail or in person. Thank you all for your time.
