I’ve reviewed your biography on the Internet, and despite what you’ve done to me, I believe you can be motivated into doing the right thing. Otherwise, I’ll be forced to deal with this in my own way.

Ms. Flynn, I’m not sure how you got my personal e-mail address, but it has long been suspected that you were more than what you appeared. As far as remembering you, rest assured there are many who remember you well, myself included. I not only knew of your situation, I authorized your treatment. We actually met briefly, shortly after you arrived at Tellis Labs. I’m sure you don’t remember, as you required heavy sedation at the time.

I’m not in any way apologizing for what we did for you, and please note, I didn’t say “to” you. When you were flown out of the jungle, you were in severe shock from blood loss and exposure. Neither the U.S. government nor I had anything to do with your quarantine. When we learned of your plight, we evacuated you to the best facility in the world for such problems.

As far as what you think you witnessed before we arrived, you must realize that your impressions were heavily influenced by the infection that very nearly killed you. There was no evidence that anyone died because of anything other than the EDH1 virus.

As far as being indebted is concerned, I think I’ve shown that it is you who are indebted to us. So, I will rely upon your honor and ask that you allow us to re-examine you so that we can find out how you survived this universally fatal infection. I am sure you know that a number of people have been trying to find you for seven years.

Finally, I have contacted the Colorado Department of Health, and they have noted an unexplained rise in acts of violence.
