Family Voices Heard From

[Rhean t'Valae 0]

My dear rinam,

 

Word has just reached me of aur ship's unfortunate misadventures. While I'm sure it would be an interesting story about any other ship in the Galae, the fact that my rinam was aboard made it most uncomfortable news. Rhean, fhaen, take my advice and transfer sooner rather than later. In fact, with such an incident in aur records -- though of course I'm sure au had no part in it -- au might consider a career change.

 

H'nah, do na jump down my throat. I know what au are thinking: the nasty Tal Shiar hates the Galae and wants everyio in her family to steer clear of them. Honestly, what did they teach au at the academy? Au will note I'm not suggesting that Eriu resign. I only want what's best for au -- au are my rinam first, after all. I wish au could remember that; I didn't choose this career to hurt au.

 

Speaking of our ia'rinam, ask Eriu for her advice if au cannot trust mine. I imagine she'll tell au much the same. She may even be able to pull some strings for au. Or ri'nanov might.

 

I know au were excited to get this post, rinam, but whatever affection au feel towards aur ship and comrades, au need to think of aurself and aur family.

 

Take care, and keep aur head down.

 

Aur rinam,

Mnharru

Mnharru,

 

Au have no business telling me what to do with my life. I chose the Galae and the Galae sent me here. I will not so shame myself and my family as to abandon my duty at the first sign of trouble.

 

The crew here is composed of fine individuals - strange, perhaps, but fine. What ship would not have the occasional misadventure? Stop meddling in matters that do na concern au.

And furthermore, things are back to normal here. We have a new assignment and every io is recovering well from our last io. Even as I write we are preparing to get underway. Au have na idea what life is like out here, and au have na place telling me how to manage my affairs.

Rinam dear,

 

Perhaps au are right about circumstances here. Au would hardly believe what happened today...
