Barricade:

Hey, good to be able to talk to you; even if it is via an encrypted letter.

College is going well; I've decided to major in English. Everything else is a pushover with Laserbeak around; that form for me to be able to bring him everywhere pays off.

A couple of students have asked me about my military backpack; they're even more surprised to hear I'm enlisted. 'Course, I can't tell them what division, so I generally say 'Special Operations'. It's funny; this other student called Markus comes up to me and goes "I didn't take you for the military type". I just laughed and said "you have no idea".

I'm looking forward to accompanying you on more missions once Thanksgiving rolls around and I can come home; I miss the high speed and plotting. Hopefully the drones haven't scratched you up too badly, and that whatever injuries you may or may not have sustained are treated by Ratchet.

I'll hopefully see you and Soundwave soon; I'm itching to know what I've been missing.

Your crazy friend,

W. Waterdiek
