[Bards] To the crew of Columbia

[Tessa Nieto]

My lord,

I don't see how this is offensive in the least. VIVAT

There is sadness in the world today. But together, we
will remember the seven heroes who stare death in the
face...and never flinch.

May the Goddess bless you, Columbia. We shall miss
you.

Lady Eleanor Cleavely
