Soaprack,
Arrived by plane, the trip was horrible. You know how both Hairnet and I get motion sickness. Almost died from the landing. Hairnet was able to overpower the motion sickness though, and we did arrive intact.
The least you could have done was book a decent hotel. This one is total Sith Dander. There is food from a diet I do not wish to take under the beds.
We looked at the history of the local headcheese; it looks quite good actually. Do you still want a wedge?
Please advise as to how we are to proceed.
Yours truly,
Bathtub

Dear Bathtub,
Keep your eyes on the local cheese. If you see an opportunity get a wedge, please, by all means do so. The rest of the family and I wish greatly to have some. Watch out for the caretakers though! They seem jealous from the last time we got a view of them.
Keep a low profile. No need to get picked up by the local blues for some small item. You know what to do, and I'm sorry if I seem like a concerned mother.
I'm sorry about the hotel; it was the best I could do with that holonet discount site. Protest about the food on the floors, get the rooms cleaned well, so they don't need to be cleaned again for a good while. Get one of those lock kits that they sell; I've seen them on the holonet. Should keep the place fairly safe while you are there.
First order of business: Marcé. Ask him for good cheddar, with pepper inserts.
Get what you need from his store.
Keep in touch,
Soaprack

Soaprack,
Thank you for the thoughtful message. Marcé was very helpful, and his cheddar was good. The pepper inserts gave me indigestion though; do you have a recommendation for a mild sulse? Floormat said he likes sulse, and that I should try it.
We are now equipped. A few items Marcé did not have, so we went to a small local supplier for them. Prices were outrageous, of course.
The local headcheese is looking better and better, now that Soap and Towel have had time to check them out.
Keep in touch,
Bathtub

Bathtub,
For sulse recommendations, I would go with a mild variation of the guy-ruy family. Make it something orange, or green. Orange sulse goes good with a large bowl of bowl of meat and veggies; while green goes with dry bread. Keep away from the blue guy-ruy, it’s not worth your money, or the lost taste buds.
I am glad to hear that you are equipped. Nothing better than having the correct tools, don’t you think? The following messages are for your friends; please be kind enough to pass them on.
Soap:
Make friends with the local keeper of the headcheese, I’m sure you can figure out how. Get close, as close as you can. You’ll find out how.
Towel:
Watch out for Soap, if needed help her by distracting the keeper’s brother, or equivalent.
Floormat:
Try see if there are any suppliers of amateur radio equipment. Your equipment will be able to enhance the amateur stuff enough.
Bathtub, you and Drain get jobs at the headcheese’s refrigerator. Preferably close to the air conditioner. Drain is good at repairs; use that to your advantage.
These letters keep my spirits up so, please reply as promptly as possible.
In faith,
Soaprack

My Dearest Soaprack,
The guy-ruy sulse is an excellent cheese; I believe both Drain and I are hooked. Have you ever tried the five-year family? They say it’s aged for five years, before being released. Almost like a good wine.
Soap, Towel, and Floormat are all pleased to report successes, so far. Soap had no trouble getting snuggly with the keeper, a cinch their. Towel is a bit concerned, but the keeper has no other attractants, so he is idle. Floormat is having fun with his new toys, he is taking up a whole quarter of the already small room with the junk. We may need to rent an adjoining room. Does the budget have room for that?
Drain and I got jobs. Only he is working with the air conditioner, and I on the power outlet. Almost as good, if not better.
Please advise on some things to do, or places to go on the town. I want to be ready incase the headcheese decides to go postal on Soap.
Saying hello from cheeseland,
Bathtub

Dear Bathtub,
That’s great that you got the job! Don’t stick your fingers in the outlet now…
Tell Floormat to be careful with his toys. We don’t not want him to accidentally be jamming some special air frequency now, do we?
Keep Drain warm, he might catch a cold next to the air conditioner.
Saying hello from a sunny planet,
Soaprack

Dear Soaprack,
Your warning came too late. Drain did catch a cold from the air conditioner. A rather bad one, he is coughing up blood. The local doctor refused to treat him, so we have to use a book to determine if it’s his pancreas or esophagus we’re pushing morphine into. Or is it his lungs.
Floormat says he’ll be careful, and get it right.
I found some beautifully delicate farmer’s cheese today, I wonder if it’ll lead me to the headcheese’ rooms.
Do you have any suggestions on how to treat burns? Drain’s are rather close to the heart, and are quite small – though deep.
Yours Truly,
Bathtub

Dear Bathtub,
I am very sorry to hear about Drain’s unfortunate accident. Was he being careful about sparks? Sparks almost always accompany Air Conditioner jobs. For burns, some crushed grass, mixed with dirt should make a good poultice. Be sure to change it hourly, and keep some cold water around the burn as well.
Tell Floormat we received his transmission. It was numbered 009, and contained three x’s instead of spaces. Tell him modulation four will be expected for the next message.
We received some advance info from the Hairnet team today. It looks like the local headcheese my be moved to a different faculty for aging. The caretakers are getting antsy about the atmosphere where you are located.
Prepare for this by investing in some pepper plugs, as well as a good milk truck. You’ll need it.
By all means, get to know the farmers cheese. Not to close you know, the head cheese doesn’t like his buttermilk moving about.
Forever Watchful,
Soaprack

Dearest Soaprack,
We confirm the moving of the local headcheese. It’s not a big move, just down the valley a bit, to an underground aerator. We have done has advised, and purchased a milk truck, as well as pepper plugs.
Drain is feeling better, he has a very sore left chest, but he is doing fine. We ran across some magic blue water, and that brought him out of his fever.
Floormat says he got your two messages, and instructs you to adjust the Jbd minus five degrees. He also says to run algorithm twelve, and run the results through algorithm five, then seven. You are supposed to know what that means, though I haven’t the faintest idea.
The farmers cheese dumped me today. Something about sour milk.
We are looking for some jobs outside the aerator tomorrow. Should be something about.
Hopefully yours,
Bathtub
