Dear Brenna,
  It was a sad day yesterday when we received you wave about Tom. It was a good man he didn’t deserve to die at the Community Service camp.  It does sound like a vile place. So you have not been about to tell Conall about his father.  He was always like his father heading out to be a spacer leaving his family to fend for themselves.
  We have been doing well, I have started working in the weapons side of the factory. I know I said I wouldn’t ever be made to work there, but the job came available and I was asked to transfer.  Besides I need to pay for the 150 cm cor-view that I got the wife.
  If there is anything I can do let me know. If you want to move back to civilization I will come up with the credits somehow. After call money is tight these days.
  Tell Darrel and Conall to be strong.
  Glen Murray

Dear mom and dad,
  Things are looking up, yesterday, I spend the day on the bridge observing the day to day, running of the ship. It was the first time I was allowed on the bridge. I have never seen some many blinking lights. I mostly stayed out of the way.  Harry asked the Captain on my behalf for a little time on the bridge. I think he is getting a little tired of me to tell you the truth. We work together running through a long list of engine check three times a day and then end up in the same cabin trying to get some sleep.
  The day went by fast and Scotty regaled me with stories of his younger years, moon jumping and smuggling meds out to the rim. He says that there are a lot of planets and moons that the Alliance doesn’t help. They have left them to survive for years on their own. Now that they are surviving the Alliance is forcing them to unite.
  He sounded a lot like the bartender at the Moosehead, back in Borha. Well that will have to be enough for now.
  Your son, Conall

  Dear Miss Murray
Well, I would like to apologize for calling this place hell. I had to perform 4 days of kitchen duty for my out burst. I know now that it is important to treat others and the Guard with respect at all times and I shamed myself when I speak out of turn. As I write this letter be most assured that it will be read by one of my officers. This is done with all the new recruits make sure that I have not spoken out of turn once again. I didn’t mean for it to sound as if this place was indeed the place of the underworld.
  Respect is what it is all about, between the core planets, where modern civilization was reborn and they fledgling planets. Where the war will soon take us, we will fight for what is right, that right is what we are told.
  Your friend, John.

My dearest mother and father,
  I am sorry, I didn’t feel like adding anything yesterday. The ships crew was haunted by what we witnessed. The Captain made an announcement that the Alliance cruiser wasn’t only standing down from helping the Little transport but they weren’t letting anyone else give aid.
  I feel a bulge in my stomach, I now know, what it means to say that I am having trouble swallow the situation. It came over the local feed that a type one Firefly was caught transporting illegal cargo.
  What upset me the most was when Jewels said that she didn’t think that is was cargo but refuges that the firefly was hauling.  It didn’t make sense why they would destroy perfectly good cargo unless they found it to be worthless.
  How can a government call people worthless? Well I guess that is what this war is all about.
  Well, most of the work is done until we get to Howard station near Arson’s World. I think I am going to try to get some rest.
  Your son, Conall

Dear mom and dad,
  I saw the most horrible scene today unfold out the portside observation hatch. I say a cargo ship, I think someone said is was a Firefly burning in space.  I thought that you could see fire in space. But Harry said it was only escaping oxygen and fuel from then engines.
  I asked why the Alliance curser was just letting it burn. His reply was that they don’t spend to much time with matters that don’t directly involve them.  As we passed the old Firefly, it exploded and almost disappeared completely.
  It made me more nervous than every about heading out into the Black.  I have to go, sorry, it is so short today. Tell dad to save me a deer on the hunt this year. If Darrel wants he can use my rifle, if it is alright with you.
  Love Conall

  Dear Miss Murray,
  Greeting from hell, well it does feel like it some times.  We work out our mind’s as mush as our body’s. This is the started of the three week of training. We have been working on learning about law and how to kill Browncoats, that is what our instructors call the traitors that side with the independents. The all are just a bunch of pond scum and I plan to do a little cleaning of my own one day.  Our instructors were on Jubilee during the uprising a few years back and they really showed the protesters a thing or two. I asked about the women and children.
  The Guardsman’s repeat was, “There wasn’t any woman and children, Just traitors to the core beliefs.” I got the feeling he didn’t really answered my question but he did look cool in his dress uniform. He pointed out the tunic button on his uniform and said, “That’s what I got for killing those no good Browncoats.
Your friend,
 John

Dear mom and dad,
  List few nights ago I was introduced to a drink called Mudder’s milk. We went to a throat emporium that looked kind of quiet until Deckers and Spacers started to get into to a quarrel.  I have never seen such a disturbance of men. The whole lot of us was bound for charges of disturbing the peace.
  I don’t remember much about the jail cell. I spend most of it losing my dinner into the he chromed throne. Harry and I limped back to the ship in the morning and Captain Jack met us at the main hatch. For a little woman, she sure was terrifying. I wasn’t sure she was ever going to let Harry and I come on board.
  Once she managed to grant me access to the ship. We were both told to remain in out cabins until we got underway.  The only reason I got to come out was that Harry and I have jobs to do and we can’t do them locking in out bunks.
  Captain Jack passed me in the corridor and stared me down. I never thought that a little woman could be so scary.  I still feel the affects of the Mudders Milk, it kind of feels like a got hit in the head will a shovel.
  When I get the courage to asked the captain, where we are heading, I will let you know what she says.
  Love Conall.

  I heard rumors that he made a deal with someone in the government and that is why you got to keep your farm. That is why Omar set me straight.  

  Once again I am Sorry for your loss.

Dear Mom,
  I got your wave. When did dad go to the work camp? I guess you didn’t tell me because I would have headed out on the Basure. Is he alright? Can you tell me anything else?
  I am glad the farm is saved for now.  I have asked the captain for an advance, on my wages.  She laughed but when I told why she gave it to me and said that she was glad to help.  I have paid the first payment on the farm.
  She surprised me. My bunkmate gave me a speech about how this meant I was part of the crew and being part of the crew meant I needed to honor that ship. Not sure what he meant. I watched the crew leave. I am once again the watch stander and the airlock stander, double duty.  I don’t mind, it is quiet and gives me a chance to write you.
  I thought I hated this job, but when it comes down to it. I think that I love this more than everything that I have ever down.  No, I don’t like the smell of poo, but I do like the chance that has been given me.
  I love you,

Dear mom and Dad,
  Sorry, I have not had time to write. I have been climbing threw the bowels of the station cleaning the injectors and pushing the human waste out of the stir tanks. Most of the time, I can’t smell anything. But last night I forgot to lock down the hydro-piping and ended up wearing a coat of gray water. I was just lucky that it was only kitchen waste water.  The smell was quite alarming. I understand why Harry stays so far back.  He knew I was only a matter of time before one of the injectors broke free.
  I spend the rest of the shift cleaning my mess form the crawl space. I could hear the people passing above in the kitchen complaining of the smell.
  After an hour, in decontamination and one long shower I still smell like that something that came out of the south end of a north bound cow.
  I will write more after lunch.
  Tell Darrel that he better be staying out of my bunk.
  Love your son, Conall.

Dear Mom and Dad,
  How are you?  I miss you and can’t wait to hear from you.  Last night was a little disturbing. I was awaken in the morning by a strange sound, it was like a bang or a clang, and maybe a couple of thumps.  I was told to stay in my bunk but it didn’t stop me from listen at the hatchway. I heard woman talking.  They didn’t sound like anyone on the ship.  They sounded fancy.
  I woke up, and was told we are heading to Stockholm station, near Jubilee. So you can write me there?
Love,

Greeting and Salutations,
  I am writing to inform you that I have worked out a deal with Green leaf land management concerning your land report. It is a payment plan for the remainder for what you own on the property.  The first payment of 120 credits is due no later than Wednesday.
  I use a loop hole in the original charter of Greenleaf‘s settlement act. If a man in incarcerated and owes back taxes or debt he can not lose his family home as long as children under voting age still resides at said home.  I must inform you not to tell anyone about this arrangement.  They are changing the law and I made a deal with the Magistrate of Borah.
  In the end you get to keep you’re your home provided that you make the payment each month.
Hope that everything if going well and I am again sorry I wasn’t able to save your husband from the community service work camp.

Sincerely
ATT, S. Stevens

  Dear mom and dad,
  I am sorry; I fell asleep and missed my last, Gorram chance at taken another still of Greenleaf.  I look out in all direction and I filly get why they call it the black.  It is a lonely place I find myself. Not only outside the vessel but inside as well. The crew either sleep, works or keep to themselves. I am not allowed on the bridge, it is the only place that is off limits, but I do have the run of the ship.  Kathy invited me to go jogging later. She the upper spine of the ship and then back down to the engine room where after a windy path back up to the spine to end around crew quarters. I was told that this ship isn’t the biggest but if you were to count the ten tanks that we have strapped together we are only match in size by an Alliance citadel.
  I didn’t get a chance to ask the Captain, why she had a large turn over. She just laughed and said, “Who wants to run crap from one side of the verse to the other.” I laughed, “Well, you do, for one.”  That is when she looked at me coldly and said, “I that’s not all I do, boy.” For a small woman she scares me.
  I didn’t comment on what she meant but I get the feeling another show is going to be dropped and I am going to make a point to be far away when it does.
  When I get the destination of where we’re going I will let you know. They are sure secretive about certain things on this ship.
  Love you,
  Conall

Dear our borderland family,
  How have you been? We are fine. The war hasn’t really changed anything. Maybe a few more shortages but that is to be expected. We watch the news waves for mention of your back water planet. But they seem to be concentrating their coverage of everywhere else. It just goes to show you how out of reach you are from civilization.
  If only you and your family would be willing to come back to Ariel. I am sure father’s employment agency could find you work in the factories. They are hiring anyone that wants work. Not far from here they are producing skiffs at a rate of 4 an hour.  You can almost tell time by the test fights over the apartment building.  They are also manufacture rollers few kilometers from here.
  I wish you would just come back.  It has been far too many years, since you ran from home for the spacer life. Father says you have chosen your side. I know you are loyal to the Alliance cause. We hear daily speeches on every channel of the cortex, the people of Parliament just want peace.
  Well, I am heading off to the factory, we are making Electronic Clipboard for our part of the war effort.
  God save the Parliament,

Dear mom, it has been a busy night. The Captain is a hard woman to work for. I have been going from station to station learning the different jobs. Because once we get under way life aboard will slow down and I will have to study by simulation and not hands on which I prefer.  We are a day out from the Motherlode, the asteroid belt between Greenleaf and the Red sun. We will be passing near the planet New Melbourne by Monday I should think. Then a sharp change of course and we dump our load of waste.  I am told that this past of the run is the most dangerous.  But I should be fine.  Don’t reply to this message. I would get it. I also found out we are not going to Jubilee, I guess the flight path is a little more fluid than what I was told.
The photo of Greenleaf was taken from the rear cargo hatch, It filled my view finder. I will write when I can. Love Conall.

Miss Brenna Murray,
I am waving you, to inform you of the sorrow, I feel for you circumstances and to inform you that your, husband, one Tom Murray, was sentenced to 6 week community service.

This is a light sentence for the charges he faced but still on of man of his years it won’t be an easy one. I believe that he will be sent to the mines as all others that received community service in the past, regardless of his age.

If you would like to pay for his food and better lodging you may do so at the Borah Magistrates office. I would encourage you to do so. The food that is served I hear is not very good and the tents tend to leak. It is a nominal fee but one that I would over look.

Thank you for you attention,

  Once we leave port we will not be getting messages. I will be able to send updates out in the black but as we get close to the gravity well of the star we will loose reception all together. That is were we dump our cargo. It get pulled into the fusion furnace and burns up eventually.
  Then the our flight path will take us to Jubilee and yes I will get plenty of stills for everyone.
  So, how is everyone taking the trouble with the Feds, are there any protest out in Wexford.  Well, I need to be…….. Message ended.

Dear Mom,
  I am sorry it seems so long sense I can contacted you. I left the tubes and met Captain Jack. She was a surprise. Captain Jack is a woman. Her full name if Jenny Jackson, but everybody calls her Captain Jack. She is two feet shorter that I or it that me, well anyways she said that I will do until she finds someone better then it is the airlock for me.  Hope we are at port when I go throw that airlock. She didn’t make that entirely clear.
  I was put on the watch the first night. Talk about boring, at least you can watch the grass grow in the hills of Sarah. My job was to stand at the airlock door and make sure no one came throw me that wasn’t supposed to be there.
  I wasn’t exactly how to tell who was suppose to be on the Basure and who wasn’t. She like my creativity. I asked everyone that came aboard what color the head was in the crew area.  It was a trick question. The head is closed for repairs so the answers I got was something on the accord.
  The Basure is 400 meters long and almost as wide. Our purpose is the evaluation of waste products on every station in the system. I almost lost my breakfast the first time I came on board. The General smell of the vessel is of poo and trash.
  Captain Jack has a contract with every station Alliance and Rebel controlled. Something about human waste ending up on the out side of the star ships makes it easy to hook up to the stations and get the job done.
  Well, I am going for know. I need to get am myself sorted for training in waste management and exchange. Oh, did you hear that john is ran off the Greenleaf Guard. I bet his mama and Uncle are upset if he tells them at all. You know his father died on Coyata ridge fighting for the Alliance.
  Love you all,
         Conall

Missed you in church today. Everyone was talking about the letters that went out to everyone last week. It seems you are the only one to have trouble with the Land service. No one can afford the taxes this year and not one extension was accepted. Omar would quit the Marshal’s service but then that would leave us with no income at all. He just feels terrible about the letters he sent out.  He also noticed that no one talked to him at church today. It isn’t his fault. We need to blame the people back in Parliament for raising the taxes. The Ferguson’s taxes are more than what they made at market for the crops. The reason that was given was that the land office believes the blight was caused by them so they are taxed on the same production as last years.
God save us.

  This is the big day. I got up and had breakfast with Miss. Hicks, she was sure good to me. She even refunded the remainder of the rent for the tube. I reckon that she knows yall are of little means.
  So how much was the Crop report this year? You haven’t said much about it either way.
  Miss Hicks told me to tell you that I won’t be back here once I leave. So don’t write back until I have an address on the Basure
  She seems to know a lot about spacing and the black. That is what they call it up here., the Black, the void of space.
  Well, I will send you a wave when I can. One day mama, I will buy you that console you always wanted to you can see vids. It will be shiny.
  Dad don’t worry about me, I am staying out of the Underdeck. I went by there and it seemed like a rough place. One day you will have to let me know how you know so much about the Rivers Edge station.
  Little Darrel, I know you aren’t little but you are going to have to pull your wait around the farm. Keep your head up and stick to your learning.

  Miss Hicks would like your raisin bread recipe. I told her how you won the bake off last month at the fair and she wants to know if she could have it and if you think it would raise properly in station gravity.
  I heard from the Basura, it is due in tomorrow. I look forward  to getting a look at it. I here it is one of the biggest vessels the comes to port here at the Rivers edge.
  It has a crew of 11 but could have at least  20 from what I understand.

  Dear Mom and Dad,
  I am glad to hear that dad turned in the crop report in on time. I bet they were surprised at the production this year. Hope the payment isn’t too much, I remember last year how we almost lost the farm. If it wasn’t for that extension we would never have made it through report season.
  I am bidding my time at the Tube inn. The conditions are cramped, I am used to the openness of the fields on Hills of Sarah. It is quiet, for the most part. Sometimes you here the shock troopers running down the corridors, they are training hard to protect the station from attack.
  Miss Hicks says that are double the about of security that was here just 6 months ago. She thought dad would think that was interesting. I also found out that her husband isn’t in the Alliance Military, so that one leaves one other side. It doesn’t really matter to me I guess what side he is on. I am not picking sides. There is too much life to live.
  There goes the alarm again. They seem to be running drills every few hours.

  Dear mom and dad,
  I know that I said I wouldn’t write until tomorrow but I had bestest news ever. I got a job. It is just a deck hand position on the Basura. It doesn’t pay much on the first trip, but, Captain Jack’s agent told me that no one gets paid their first time out into the black, because of all the turn over. If I do well I will have half wages on the second trip  and each trip after that until I prove my worth.
  Thanks for not giving up on me.
  One thing I noticed, this afternoon was that Falcon lifted off out of Borha, I had never seen the ship fly. For as long as I can remember it has sat there in the city. Must be something going on with the war. It looked beautiful going through the atmosphere as the dirt fell off her from the years of setting on the ground.
  This message didn’t cost me anything, Mrs. Hicks was kind enough to let me write you and tell you all about my job and what I saw.
Well, I need to be going, Love you,

  I am to meet with Captain Jack’s agent today at noon, for lunch. Mrs. Hicks says, I better impress him I want the job with Captain Jack.

Hey,
  Just thought I would let you know that the constables were at the camp this morning, they think he was in the fire with the rest of the treasonous Bastards. They are letting the matter drop and no further investigation.  They also took his belongings. You know, they are going to auction it off for the cost of the investigation.  Bunch of thieves if you ask me, but don‘t tell anyone I said that.
  Tell Conall he is in the clear, but should stay clear of the constables and of course the Recruiter stark. I think he wants to talk to him. I keep running in to him in town and he asked about him.

Dear Mom and Family,
  I am depressed a little. I had some trouble finding a place to sleep.  I ended up sleeping in a small room off the secondary cargo bay only to be kicked in the morning by a dock worker. He told me that if he caught me there again he would throw me out an airlock and no one would care about the likes of me.
  I want to come home, but don’t have the credits to get back. There aren’t that many ships on the way to Borha. So I have to be careful not to end up on the wrong side of the planet. The cost of getting back will be astronomical.
  Ted Jenson that man that brought me up here left for Ariel last night. They would hire me because the Captain doesn’t hire from Systems that people don’t want to come back to, what ever that meant?
  As soon as, I find someone heading to Borha, I will be back. This space life isn’t for me. The gravity generators on board make me sick to my stomach. Luckily, I haven’t had anything to eat so there is nothing to come up.
  You can write me back by sending messages to, my self, CO General Delivery, Rivers Edge station, Greenleaf, OZ.

 Morning,
  Thanks for letting me know where Conall is and yes, I will keep this little secrete between me and you, Miss Murray.  The Moosehead inn was burnt to the ground last night. I am not sure what happened. Just heard it was on fire and went out to watch.  They say a few people died but didn’t see anything on the Coretex about the matter.
  Have a great day.
