To my good friend havelock stern,

How are things with you? Is the knee still playing up?

I was delighted to read your most recent essay on the osprey evolution armour. As always, your comments are insightful and thought-provoking. However I find one or two points of innacuracy that you may wish to correct before publication.

Firstly, the changing attitudes towards human combatants did not in any way influence the decisions leading to the decomissioning of the evolution armour. Rather, the technical limitations of the armour itself were to blame.

Secondly, the virus outbreak that led to the redesign of the suit's firmware did in fact lead to several human casualties; this is undocumented, but I speak from personal experience.

A word of warning; the suits were not as revolutionary or noble as you assume. The average military buff might share your viewpoint, but your unedited essay in the hands of an experienced soldier from the period is likely to provoke offense.

Yours Sincerely,
-Corporal Punishment

PS: I sent this via a new messenger; what happened to the last one was most unfortunate.
