Hey James, Catelyn here.

I've been unable to visit Pita, and regret not being there in person.
I was wondering if you have an update of her condition. I've been thinking of that poor little girl since we last met. I sinscerely hope both of you are doing ok.

Please contact me again as soon as you can, but I urge you to keep things quiet. Pita's not a popular subject around the DSE watercooler.

sinscerely yours,

Catelyn Smith

Catelyn,

Pita has been well. She recovered quickly in the hands of the Navy's finest doctors, and was discharged yesterday.

I bought her a new ship, which she seems to be enjoying a great deal. We went to Denver where she walked on a planet for the first time, enjoying the fresh air, sunshine, and a swim in a lake.

She's still there, and I anticipate spending another day with her there today once she wakes. You're welcome to pay us a visit sometime. In fact, I'm even considering looking for a more permanent place to live down on the planet, potentially. I'm tired of living in space and that's no proper life for a child. If I'm going to be taking care of Pita... I think she'd want to live there.

Feel free to visit, or to arrange a meeting somewhere. I'd like to see you again, and Pita had nothing but good things to say about "the sandwich lady". Perhaps one day we will be able to repay you for your invaluable help in tracking her down.

Lambert out.

Hey there James,
Thanks for getting back to me so soon. Your message would have normally woke me up, but I don't really sleep much anymore... Regardless, hearing good news in the morning always makes for a good start to the day.

I'm glad Pita is doing well. The girl deserves better then a life of petty thieving. I feel at ease knowing that Pita is being looked after properly by someone genuinely interested in her welfare. Your a good man James, gentlemen like yourself are a dying breed.

I look foreward to seeing both you and Pita again as soon as I can find some time to travel out to planet Denver. I personally have never ventured past the spaceport there, but from what you describe I do wish to see more of that beautiful planet.

I'll be sure to prepare some sandwiches for Pita...
sinscerely yours,

Catelyn Smith

Catelyn,

I understand about the not sleeping thing. Despite having Pita back, things have still been absolutely crazy at work, and I haven't slept much at all either.

Thank you for your kind words. I simply feel the need to help someone who needs me, but I guess that isn't a common attitude these days. Having her around is a good thing for me, though. It helps me... cope with my other problems. I just hope I can be responsible for her alone while also maintaining my naval career. It will be a challenge, for sure.

Of course, you are welcome to visit Denver any time. Pita and I would both love to see you. And your sandwiches.

Lambert out.
