Dear Alixia,

You are the greatest. Thank you so much. When you do visit Earth, I'm going to treat you and Ixchell to something special.

Everything worked out beautifully thanks to you. What an exciting adventure. Now Vulcan, Andoria, even the Xindi Aquatics are asking I study in their research departments. This has been a wonderful experience.

Thank you again.

Love,

Mezoti.

Dear Alixia,

Good grief. Can you believe all that was about a dispute over the actual first contact date between Vulcan and Andoria? You should see Mezoti. I would say she's bouncing off the walls as if she just discovered a trans-dimensional wormhole, but that's not really happening. She is smiling and talking a lot more, which is unusual for her. I guess it is kind of special that it was her discovery and she did get to go on a grand adventure. We picked her up on the world of Azati Prime, and that was kind of fun for me. It's inhabited by the Xindi Aquatics. They helped Mezoti somehow. One of them was on the archeological team.

It looks like this might be my last letter to you. With the new sub-space repeater, in just a few days we can establish private links between New Talaxia and anywhere in the alpha quadrant. Isn't that exciting? From now on we'll be talking to each other face to face!

See you soon! Maybe we can play a real game of Kadis-Kot. Mama and Papa said it was brilliant to disguise the coordinates in the moves of your last letter. Was that really your idea?

Mezoti's right. You are a great friend.

Love,

Ixchell.
