Cadet Neddleberg heard a chirp over his comm badge. “Yes. Cadet Neddleberg. Go ahead.”

“Cadet Neddleberg. There is a transmission for you. Would you like to take it in your quarters?”

Cadet Neddleberg responded, “Sure, that would be fine.”

“This is Cadet Neddleberg. What can I do for you as he took a double take. William, to what do I owe this pleasure? Is everything okay at home?”

Denali’s brother responded, “Hello Denali. How are you holding up there?”

“I am doing just fine, William. I have only spoken with my DH but all is well. Anything I need to know about?”

“No Denali, I just wanted to make sure you were safe and all.”

“Well, thank you for checking in on me. I appreciate it. Tell everyone I miss them terribly. You know where to find me. Love you bro!”

Transmission ended.
