Krampus,

I feel like a little kid writing to you, but my daughter swore I’d write at least something this year to be a bit better. At least, that’s the whole of it. You should be getting some mail from them on Cleveland, too, but she’s old enough to write her own letters, ask for her own presents. She’ll probably wish for a new Hallam, so they could go skiing there. Gotten interested in skiing, been watching all of the vids from the Baden Baden ‘33, when Meyer decimated Kawabe and the rest of the Kusarians. But she’ll tell you all about that then. Hopefully she asks for skis instead, or something. If she asks for a rifle, for all sakes please get her a Detroit Smallboy - an air rifle will at least let the wife crank down the pressure. Well. Probably.

I’m Hector. For the last few months, I’ve been aboard the B|-BCV-Endeavor - a beautiful ship from an ugly time. My ship. She’s done pretty well, but something has always irked me on her. She still runs with the old Insurgency engines, even though we’d gotten refit from Pacifica. Yeah, I know...it was costly, but worth it all around. Made some friends at that base, too, and didn't make any enemies otherwise. I was thinking the ship could do with the engines off of a Hel. I’ve been pretty good, even if the Samura and DSE would swear otherwise, but you know how they are. My crew thinks I’m alright, and that’s enough for me.

Apparently you like a certain kind of goody this year. I’ve prepared a few ships for that. Their names are…

* DigustingDSE(?)
* DirtyBMM
* SmellyBMM
* StinkyBMM

I assure you that their crews have already repented from their various company ways, though they refuse to part with the idea of a 5K ship. You know how people are.

Hope the holidays find you better than usual. We’re doing alright out here in Galileo, Kusarians and Libertonians notwithstanding. You know how they are, too.
