	Decoded:

		To Jasmina Halsey,

		My admiration of your career knows no limits. As a former President of the Federation, it is safe to say you are one of the most remarkable individuals of your generation. Even though your temporary misplacement aboard Starship One was no doubt disorienting, you have returned to service as a Federal ambassador for peace and goodwill.

		I offer you a token of the same goodwill, with the utmost humility. May it brighten up your office at Bloch Station.

		Yours in respect,
		Harald Harksing

		You are child of considerable significance, with a potential future on the Imperial Throne. Take advantage of these early years on Dyson City, enjoying every moment of a carefree youth while you can.

		In this spirit, I hope my little gift will provide hours of joy!

	Decoded:

		To Saskia Landau,

		The agent who found a missing Emperor! I considered your gift for quite. In the end, what better way to honour your greatest success than with a beautiful memory sitting on your Enoch Port desk?

		The perfect conversation piece, I think you'll agree.

		Yours in triumph,
		Harald Harksing

		To Olav redcourt,

		I hope you'll forgive the intrusion, given your preference for solitude in recent years. But as a huge fan of the Corsair King series, I couldn't resist creating a small representation of my loyal support.

		No doubt your next book will be a marvel, sir. Fans across the galaxy have faith that you've made 'van de Hulst's' progress!

		Yours in adoration,
		Harald Harksing

	Decoded:

		To Elijah Beck,

		It's one thing to reveal the wrongdoing of a megalomaniac, as you once did. It's another to dedicate your career to complete the important work that person abandoned. Your department at George Lucas is doing great things.

		Words are far more important that weapons. Much more appropriate for holiday games, as well.

		Yours in solidarity,
		Harald Harksing

	Decoded:

		To Bryanna Blanco,

		The intrepid investigator! Crick City's journalist for justice! To so relentlessly hound one of the richest figures in history is an act of fearlessness. What gift could possibly encapsulate such determination, such focus!

		I present the answer that that question - with a pinch of panache, of course.

		Yours in tribute,
		Harald Harksing
