Hi there Mum, this is to both you and dad. (Sorry I didn't put his name in the header. Wasn't sure it would get sent if I did!)
We are going to be out of range of face to face communications for a while and as I am cofined to quarters due to an injury, I thought that I'd write.
Well this has been a far move eventful trip that I had anticipated, or wanted for that matter. I was invloved in an accident that has left me confined to quarters for a few. It's not all bad as I have finally managed to finish my painting of the Enterprise NCC1701. It's funny. Until I did that painting I never really appriciated how beautiful she is. I think that I now understand why CO's get so attached to there ships. Having seen down in the engine room, I can also understand why Chief Engineers get attached to their engines.
I know that you wanted a member of the family in Command and on the bridge. I'm sorry that that isn't going to happen now. I know that Andrew would've made a damned good Captain. He told me once that when he got to be Captain, he knew exactly who he wanted for his Chief Engineer. He meant me. I miss him so much mum .... Hey I am sorry I didn't write this to be maudlin.
You know that someday I will make it to Chief Engineer don't you? I want you to be as proud of me as you were of Andrew.
I hope that all is well with the family. Please tell Uncle David that someone really did say that the Universe tastes of Raspberries and it wasn't just me being silly.
