Captain Redd,
It is with the utmost concern that I must express this to you directly. It would appear there is more to you than what meets the eye. What is it that makes you 'great'? What is it that could possibly make you autocratic? I have never seen you and only on scarce moments have even heard of you. Are the words rumors or are they simple truths? What is it that these people have been masked with? What is this trance you have woven over your loyal disciples? What did you offer them that they could not otherwise obtain? I am incapable of determining this. With no amount of logical deduction have I arrived at an explicit conclusion.
I am unclear on what your intention is or what your position may be aboard this vessel. You wear the title of 'captain'. You are a leader, supposedly. You are to be an individual with the ability to control the affairs of others, whether linear or not. Is it with your own hands that you sculpt this? Or is it those beneath you who do these particular things? If it is the latter, does your ability to delegate responsibility and yet inability to act yourself truly make you worthy of your title or your position? Do you care at all for your people or are you tyrannical? Do you believe you can control those a step lower by using fear?
If so, I must inform you that you have made a grave aberration. For any person, you can only push so far before that loyalty--should such a thing exist--should crumble and wither away like a flower in the seasons of winter. Nothing is eternal in the world, and it always takes something of a sacrifice to remind others of that. Even for you... Oh, so-called 'wonderful' captain... Your title is not eternal either. You ought to make it define something greater than instilling fear and horror into others.
If I am somehow incorrect, I retract my words and offer my most humblest apologies for anyone I may offend with my words, as that was never truly my intention.
That being said, whether the aforementioned is accurate or not, I have inquiries. These are things you must hear from me, and these are things I must hear an answer to. It is not with a brash tongue I speak, but rather one that concerns over the well being of this vessel's citizens.
It is from the very bottom of my heart that I request an audience with you.
Of the Sincerest,
Zelda
