Grover,

You know the reason we had to cut funding on the Zealot Project. It drained far too much from our coffers to sustain, especially with the other assets we're working on. Your team also never got more than one functional model, and the class Z isn't safe. Too unstable. I know that the Dormancy module was installed after Samantha was sent to the hospital, but it's been absorbing Garrus wavelengths. You still have a substantial amount of money, at least compared to ops like the NEMEAN. Please, Grover, help me here. I've got a lot on my plate right now. You're an old friend, but if we have to part ways I will do so without hesitation. The Tablet is our primary concern, our first priority.

John received Esther's letter nearly a year after she had sent it. By that time he had already mourned, a thousand times over, the 70.7 minutes spent standing at the altar.

On December 21, 2010, Esther Candace was married to Richard Burke. Her funeral was held on June 21, 2011.

Dear John,

It is my deepest regret to inform you that I will not be marrying you on this day. I'm sorry that it has to come to this, and I hope you won't think too badly of me. Instead you should remember all the good times we shared. I also hope that you will not be too mad at Richard; it is not his fault but mine, that I could not choose who to love between the two of you. You were my first and best lover, and my first and best love, John, so please know that, if nothing else. I don't meant to sound...patronizing, but remember that life goes on, relationships end, and people go away. I'm really, truly sorry for telling you like this most of all, and I encourage you to try your luck with Ingrid.

Always yours,
Esther

"I am very careful whenever I know you're on the phone with your father. I know you'll come to me eventually, and we'll talk you through it. But I have to wait - you need your time. In the meantime, I'm careful what songs I play. I try to speak to you with my selections."

Esther: Joey wants us to take care of his dog while he's on a business trip.

Esther: He says he'd really appreciate it.

Esther: He can't pay us for it, but we don't need the money, do we?

Esther: We're in it for the virtues of helping friends and building character. Anyway, see you tonight.

It's just slander and libel, John. Pay it no mind. If I had a dime for every time this happened, I could buy the world, and the silver platter, too.

If it's still unresponsive I suggest a temporary merging of the Superintendent and Texas II...if you need help with that I'll be available tomorrow around six o'clock. Be sure to compile backups first, even if we already have a hundred of them.
