Hey Mark! The family is really glad your safe. When we heard of the invasion we all prayed for you. I couldn't forget the look in Theresa's eyes. She said "Is daddy OK?". And every time I had to reply "I don't know honey, I don't know." When we got your letter, the kids were so happy. Theresa cried of happiness and Connor hugged Becca. I just sat there with your mom and dad. In silence. We hope you arrive home safe. We wish you the best of luck.

Love,
Marissa, Becca, Connor, Theresa

I read this, happy. We were never called to stations for awhile and its just been day after day of playing cards and waiting for mail. I then hear Blue Jay say out of the blue,
"That a letter from family?"
"How did you know?"
"Its easy. The look in the eyes usually gives it away."
"I guess you could say that."
"Plus its early in the morning, no one would read just any letter at 0457."
I look away and at the window and see something. I approach the window and see a meteorite like object falling from the sky.
"Hey Blue Jay, look at this."
He walks over and sees it flying.
"What the hell? That's a missile!"
"It can't be! It has a cockpit. And its steering too!"
"Well its coming for us."
Just then we hear an explosion outside. I look at it. This is no accident.
"Holy shit! That had to be an attack!"
"Calm down Ace, let's go run over there."
When we get there, there is a huge hole in the ground.
"Heh. If this was an accident, they better make up a quick excuse for that.
