Dear Commander,
If you are now reading this letter, it means that the 'unthinkable event' has already happened. It means that someone in the world has already made the 'first strike'!
This saddens me as it means that I may never again see my two sons, my four grandchildren and my three great-grand-children. Indeed, they may already be dead - I do hope that they are not. If they have survived so far, I wonder what kind of a world is left for them to inhabit? I hope that they may survive in a way which enables them to remain human.
If you are reading this Letter of Last Legacy, I hope that it means you are wondering whether or not to use the terrible weapon in your hands to strike back at those who made the 'first strike'.
I beg you - please - to think of all those whose innocent lives you will be taking if you use the powers which have been entrusted to you. We do not blame you, you have been placed in an unenviable position - you and all your crew - I would not like to be in your shoes. In the end, please do the right thing - even if this means defying your superiors to do it.
"ALL THAT IT TAKES FOR EVIL TO SUCCEED IS FOR GOOD MEN (AND WOMEN) TO STAND BY AND DO NOTHING".
In this case, the situation in which you and you crew find yourselves, please DO NOTHING - do NOT use the terrible weapon which is in your hands, in your control.
Please DO the right thing, DO the ethical thing and walk away from your assignment, a terrible assignment, but please DO walk away from it. No-one will blame you - people will thank you in the long run.
Walk away and start afresh, begin a new world where there is no prejudice, no hatred for 'the other', 'the different' or 'the enemy'. Let there be NO enemy, anywhere in the world. Build a new world - a world of understanding, a world of co-operation, a world of 'one family', a world of trust and a world of PEACE & LOVE!
Please think on these ways forward - if you believe in a God or Supreme Being, ask for guidance but, if you don't believe, look inward into yourself, into your own heart and ask yourself, 'What is the right thing to do?' You will surely find the answer within yourself because mankind has an innate sense of fairness and morality which has been inherited from the many generations which have gone before.
The generations which have gone before are generations of human beings - please do not lose your own humanity on the altar of other people's misguided ambitions. Think for yourself and for your crew. If it is possible to do so safely, do everything in your power to de-commission your weapon and make sure that it, and others like it, can never be used again against other human beings.
We are a human family - no-one likes a family break-up - this is effectively what you would be doing if you use this awful weapon of mass destruction. There may not be many people left but, at the very least, please give those who are left a chance to survive along with you and your crew.
I know that you will do what you feel is right - may you be guided well in your decision, whatever that may be.
Go in peace and love,
