My fellow Shadows, I have regained what sanity I can, and though my thoughts are still a bit clouded and disorientated, I feel the need to convey the direction I intend us to take. We have made ourselves ready. We have trained, practiced, and honed our skills. We are ready. Our foothold is almost completed. Our time draws near. Many of you wish to "absorb" others into our fold. That is well, good, and encouraged. However, I will not allow our organization to be tainted by any of the "other's" reputations. There -will- be loyalty amongst theives.
