Dear Jenny,
I'm on a Strethem Space Station right now, looking over at the largest clockwork machine in the universe. It's the Strethem Mechanoid Super Analyzer Mark 4. Basically, it's a giant thinking computer created entirely for the purpose of being the largest of its kind.
Sort of silly, if you ask me, all that brilliance just there to be the biggest and the best. I don't want to break the hearts of these scientists by letting them know the record'll be broken in under a dozen years by a couple of Zygons working out of their collective basements.
Still! You have to admire the way it's been built. Nothing in that planet-sized machine but cogs and gears! It's the simplicity of it that I like the most. It's all so simple, but it works like the most complicated nanocomputers.
Anyway, must dash. Hope you're doing well. It's nearly Christmastime in this section of space. Have you had a chance to learn about the Earth holiday, Christmas? I've included a video-chip, A Charlie Brown Christmas. Should teach you a bit!
Love,
Dad
