Their Queen requested that I write this letter to assure any family of Katherine that she is safe and well, and that they have every intention of returning her to Earth once they determine how to do so without risking injury to her. For my part, I apologize for my actions against the Coast Guard in the heat of the moment—I had no intention that things should turn out the way that they have. Perhaps if we had had more time together to better understand the risks we each faced, things would have turned out differently.
