After the New Year, the North and East will make their move. And we have. It's bizarre, going back in time like this.

I can't say that it was enjoyable, Lieutenant. It was interesting, though. Regardless of my own experience, I hope the beginning of your year was not entirely horrible.

I'm sorry to hear that, General.

Mine was pleasant, yes.

No need for apologies, Lieutenant. I wasn't disappointed. Although, I believe in this case, the saying most appropriate would be...it's the thought that counts?

private

[guardianed]

As you say, Ma'am.

I really don't, but onto business, Lieutenant. I'd like a status report on that letter that, no doubt, the Colonel is procrastinating writing. Is some..encouragement..necessary?

private

[guardianed]

He tells me it is partially complete. I expect he intends to ask you for a reciprocal letter.

I don't believe ...additional encouragement will be necessary. Although I do appreciate the offer I think.

[iron_ambition]

private

Oh, does he? Naturally. That should be painless enough...once he asks, of course.

I'm certain you have him everything under control, Lieutenant. I'd just like an excuse....

private

[guardianed]

Of course.

I appreciate your confidence. I'm sure he'll have it done soon.

Until then I'll hold no illusions and a modicum of hope.

Understood.
