Hey. I'm not sure how long we're going to be gone for, work is taking me off world it seems. Wish I would have known this before I responded to the call, but it is what it is, I guess. Anyway, I sent a message to Mendez and he's gonna drop by tomorrow to take you to work and fill in for me at the Respite. In case I'm gone for a few days, he's gonna stick around the house just in case you or dad need anything. I'll be back as soon as I can.

Hey, Tara! If you're getting this message then it means we're close enough for messages to reach a comms buoy so I should be home soon! I hope Mendez hasn't been giving you too much trouble. Just kick him in the butt if he has and tell him it's from me. Miss you!
