Dear Mom and Dad,

I hope you are doing well. Everything has been pretty quiet this last month. I’ve spent a lot of time in the holodeck doing target practice, and I can say that I’m much better than when I first learned in the backyard. 

Happy early anniversary from the Delta Quadrant!

Love,

Audrey

Hi Susan, how are you? How it`s going with your blond girlfriend? Any new photo? New stories? Tell me e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g.!

I am on the internship at Starfleet HQ and no, I will not tell you anything classified ;-) But yes, I guess I have special treatment as your sister, specially now during the data stream. Admiral Paris personally approved my today`s day off for this data stream and told me to tell you "hi". You should see the face of my Lieutenant when she got the message ;-) But yeah, I am mostly doing administration, coffee/tea and some presentations, nothing really technical. But it`s still a good experience and I am happy I can meet all these people here. I like the work even if I know you hated the first year in Starfleet. But I don't plan to leave the planet... at least not if I can avoid it. One lost sister is enough ;-)

In September I plan to leave for 2 weeks on Rab (Croatia) with... yeah... Seb. He is security officer and trainer here San Francisco and we somehow, you know. So we will enjoy the Mediterranean and time in privacy. I add picture of us from one meeting, my mum told me I have to send you photo of me, not him, because... you know... I am very different now that I was month ago... But here we go, picture of me and Sebastian:

He is Lieutenant and is assigned for new classified space mission in November. So yeah, mum is not happy. But I don't plan to get pregnant, so I don't get why is she so worried all the time... Anyway he is hot and I hope that at least you approve him. Btw, he knows your Audrey Lang. What a small space...

xoxo, Laura

Datastream Message

To: Lyssa Campbell 

From Marah Campbell c/o Frederick Campbell

Lyssa,

Fred loved your present. I didn’t realize you had kept up with your watercolors. I thought you might want to see how it looks with the frame your Aunt Melissa and I picked for it.  

I’ve forgotten how lovely it is here. I really should visit more often.  I’ve wandered down to the beach each morning and I swear if I keep eating your brother’s cooking I will need a whole new wardrobe when I get home. He’s so happy here Lyssa - even with the added work of the fete he just glows.  And to think he was so lost just a few years ago.

I read your message from earlier today. Were you really in a lot of danger from this temporal phenomena thing?

Your Aunt Melissa is settling in well. We transplanted one of my rose bushes last week. I hope it takes.  She brought a cutting or two from her old house and they’re rooting well.

Do send along another picture of yourself.  Marcel is helping me get this back and forth communication set up under my own name so we can chat like this again when I’m home.

Love and kisses Mum

Datastream Communication

To: Lyssa Campbell

From: Frederick Campbell

Well Lyssa, the fete is in less than a week and Mom’s here for her visit.  Marcel had a “quiet word” with her shortly after she arrived and I think you can expect to be able to message Mom next month instead of sending her letters.  Sadly, my easdropping skills are not what they used to be.  I only caught “Honestly Marah, requesting that Starfleet set you send messages and a picture or two from your daughter during the data stream each month is not the same as condoning their actions en mass” before the hairs on the back of my neck prickled and a ran for it.

Last night I finished the last of the preserves, fillings and jams that I’ll need for my puff pastry flowers. I must have been thinking of you when I agreed to do a dark chocolate lilly pad as well.

Mom will be up soon and I’ll get her to send you a message. I’ve got to run and open the shop before Nana Jenkins starts pounding on the door. 

I never thought I’d say this, but it’s nice to be the first one up in the morning.  I’ve really come to enjoy the quiet time.  I’ll write again in the evening and see if I can get a good shot of the set up for the fete in the square to send you.

My dear Susie, Finally it's my turn and I'm so glad to hear all is well with you and the crew. Your mother told you about the running and Laura about her old Seb (but I admit he is alright, only a little too old for her), but nobody mentioned the big event we were invited to! Owen Paris invited us to the wedding party of his son and your chief. It was comforting to see again other Voyager families and this time at so joyful occasion. We shared our stories and letters from delta and were having nice chat about Starfleet strategy to help you home. Something was classified, but suffice to say we are working here to improve the speed as number one priority. When I say we I mean several teams. Starfleet is busy with the war, but we keep fighting for you. And Laura is doing really good in HQ, she hasn't told you, but she hopes to join the team of Lieutenant Reginald Barclay and it looks promising. Knowing certain Voyager relatives surely helps.

I understood all went well with your last research, that's nice to know. What else are you working on? Or shall I understand you spend all  your time with Seven? I forced Laura to sent me your letter, sorry, I guess it was her eyes only, but too late.

Tell hi to Seven from us and please be safe. Dad.

Message for Lyssa Campbell

To: Lyssa Campbell

From: Frederick Campbell

Happy Birthday little sis!  I refuse to consider this a belated birthday because this is the soonest I could send you the message.  How did the cake turn out? When I mentioned to Mum that I was sending you a cake recipe for you to bake, she sent me this picture. 

We did make quite a mess didn’t we? Even now she still claims that her birthday cake was worth all that mess. 

On a less happy note, I completely understand why you won’t be writing to Dad for a bit.  I’m sorry Lys, I didn’t realize that he was being as distant with you as he was with me.  You two were always thick as thieves. I’m sure he’ll come around and see sense. Thanks for the heads up.  I don’t know what I’ll say to him when he asks, but I appreciate that you gave me time to think about it. 

So what’s happened with you in the last month? Are your hands now considered deadly weapons? How did you celebrate your birthday? 

-Frederick

Sorry about the glitch earlier. I dropped chewing gum on my padd and it sent early.

It's so good to hear from you! As you can probably see, I joined Starfleet and got married. A lot has happened since you left.

Mom and Dad had a small crisis when you disappeared, so they sent me to the Academy to help with the search. I met my husband Jake there, and we've been married for two years. No nieces or nephews for you to spoil yet, but I'll keep you updated.

What's the craziest thing to happen to you on that ship?

Love, Jenn
