Imperial Princess Bron.

He read the missive several times, making sure he understood it.She either didn't believe him or honestly thought that the Terran Empire would not disobey the Accords.

He gritted his teeth.

What did he expect, though?

Would she admit if they did have prisoners of war?Most likely not.

"A wasted effort," Bahran muttered.

Not entirely,Master System said.

"How so?"

There is a tracingprogram attached to this missive.It is much heavier than what you sent her.She is tracking this message.

"To test the validity of it?"he asked, though he couldn't think of another reason to track it.

Probability says yes.

"Well,she's denied the accusation.So I don't know what else to do with it," he said."If she doesn't want to believe me--"

She answered back.If she genuinely thought what you suggested was wrong, she would not have answered you.

He blinked."That doesn't make sense."

The Terrans do not makesense.This is a test.You must reply and show her more data about what you learned about the prisoners of war.

"And what good will that do?"

It may beenough to convince the Imperial Princess that there is a way to end the war.

He noddedand decided that what would it hurt if he composed another response.Possibly sharing some of the data about the Rhimodian prisoners of war discussed on Disguised Serenity.

He had managed to record and save a good portion of the data.Perhaps that was what the Imperial Princess needed to believe him.

With any luck, she'll want to return the prisoners as much as Bahran wanted to save them.
