Dear Mom,
I'm staying as safe as possible. This war is driving a nail between everyone, us included. I know it's going to be a long time before you can get this off the public extranet terminal or whatever. I don't know where you are or if you are safe. I'm so nervous for you and I miss you but I was deployed way before this war started and can't turn back now.
I've been fighting hard. My engineering skills are really coming in handy. The other day we were scouting out an area and ran into a Cerberus engineer. I overloaded every bit of tech on his person. He was sitting on some intelligence the Alliance needed. My hack was better than his though. Made it through the firewall and successfully retrieved the data. My team is doing well. Conner is still stepping in front of my sight lines but I think the last time I hit him in the shoulder he got the point.
They say Earth is… bad. As soon as you can send me word do, please. I want to know you, Dad, and Jay are ok.
Love,
Gabby

Dear Dad,
I'm fine. Got shot in the shoulder thanks to the lovely commander. Said I was in her sight line. You'd think she'd want to preserve her "armored escort" but who am I to say, I'm just a dumb soldier. Damn harpy yelled at me while Riley patched me up. Can't argue with the higher ups though. They say keep her alive I say how high.
I know you and Dan are on Horizon and safe for now but shoot me a line. It always helps to think of home out on these missions. It's tough killing humans in a reaper war. I'm not sure if I feel comfortable going against Cerberus yet. You know Johnny went Cerberus when he was washed out for insubordination. I scrapped contact but I can't help thinking one of those grunts is him.
Tell Dan I love him and kiss the cats for me.
Love, Brent

Dear Jenny,
I love you more than the day I married you today and every day onward. I know you're at the helm of a warship and I'm here manipulating dark energy on the front but I can still hear you in my head. "Keep your head low and covered", "use your gifts", "you're only as good as your shield", and my favorite "singularity is the answer to all your prayers".
I dropped a singularity before I rushed out today so I could patch up Brent. He took some flack from the LC for something. There was too much gunfire and yelling for me to make it out. Cerberus hit us hard but we got the info we were dropped for. I got to warp the armor on an Atlas till it cracked. The explosion was pretty impressive.
Stay safe, muffin chop. I'm staying safe for you.
all of my love,
Riley
