<DIV>Yes, I have publicly stated that I am on Ruspoli's side. I cannot undo what has been done. I do regret that those who were once my friends are now my enemies, but such is War. No one has forced me into this, there have been no threats made. I have even been told that the whole shooting incident could be forgotten, if I would just switch sides. I cannot do this. I gave my word to Captain Ruspoli that I would stand by his side, and would be loyal to him. I must keep that word. I also must be open about my alliance. I cannot be the person who will stab one in the back while smiling to one's face. I have for better or worse made my bed, and I will lie in it. Putting aside the fact that all I have been told might just be a great story, I am still a sucker for the under-dog. Besides this way is so much more fun. </DIV>
<DIV>I remain</DIV>
<DIV>In Service to The Dream,</DIV>
