Hey Babe,

So I got some bad news that I thought I'd break to you first. I'm not coming home for Christmas this year. Damn, but I thought I was going to have a five year trend going on, you know?

Yeah, I'll tell my Mum and Dad, but I thought you should know first.

Freaking we got sent back to Terra because we "violated the Temporal Directive" or some other crap. Of course, freaking Starfleet is pretty much shut down because everyone celebrates Christmas, so there's no one around to investigate us. And of course, us enlisted people weren't on the mission, but because shit rolls downhill, we're all required to stick somewhere in the vicinity. At least I ain't getting called out on the Lobo yet, though I can see that coming as well.

Yeah, you know what that means - there's more ships going from Brandenberg to Terra than the other way around, so yours truly is stuck here. It won't be so bad. Whelan's a ward of the Republic of Texas, so he's sticking around 'cause he's got no family. There's a couple others who live on colony worlds as well, so we'll make the best of it. But I'm going to miss the Christmas goose.

Anyway, on to happier stuff. How's the courses going? I'm glad that professor quit bothering you. Tell your Mum that I don't really need another knit scarf, but I appreciate the fingerless gloves she sent me.

Love,
Philip
