"Letters From Far Away"

Dear Cousin:

Stop worrying. I mean it! I don't know why you think your Mom and Dad will disapprove, but forget it. Sure they'll miss you, but they'll also be proud that you, Ivan, and little Anika plan to emigrate to one of the new colonies.

Hey, just because the Mayweathers have been pilots since the days of ol' Travis doesn't mean we can't do other things. Expanding humanity's reach is the kind of thing our ancestor would've loved. After all, even *he* settled down eventually. Adventures aren't for everyone, and neither is Starfleet.

Love from the USS Piscataway,

Andrew
