<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;">Lieutenant Elizabeth Curruthers was sitting at her desk inside of her own quarters aboard the USS McKinney, when the computer beeped, signaling that she had received a newly transmitted message.<br/><br/>When the voice began to play back, she smiled, and put down what she had been doing, intent on giving this message her full attention.  Vergil.  She hadn't heard from him in a while, and she had started to get worried that something had happened to him.  To hear from him now was a blessing that she would gladly latch onto.<br/><br/>She laughed softly at the little joke he made about her already knowing what position he had taken up on the McNair.  In truth, she had gotten word of it a day or two ago, but things being as hectic as they were right now on her own space vessel, she hadn't gotten a chance to settle down long enough to send him a message about it.<br/><br/>Now, he had beaten her to the chase, and she was going to do what she had neglected for the last few days.  "Computer, please see to it that I am not disturbed for the next 30 minutes," she said, and smiled when she heard the noises of the computer securing her quarters.<br/><br/>=-/\-= Secure Transmission =-/\-=<br/><br/>"Lieutenant Tosh...It has been a while...I am most pleased to hear of the new position that you've taken up aboard the McNair and hope that the time that you spend there goes well for you...You certainly deserve it, Vergil... <br/><br/>Elizabeth's voice was a bit wistful as she thought about the things that her friend had been faced with in the past, and hoped that there would not be a repeat on this ship, this time around.<br/><br/>Her tone became a bit more playful and carefree as she continued.  <br/><br/>"Like hell you don't...You know you love it when I kick your ass...in anything.."<br/><br/>A soft laugh was heard over the line before the Lieutenant continued.<br/><br/>"Seriously, though...I miss you too.  I was planning on sending you a message a few days ago when I heard of your new assignment, but with shit hitting the fan here, I just didn't get the time.  Who knows?  With our two vessels traveling, there is the chance that we may cross paths before we're done serving our time this time around..."<br/><br/>She felt herself being commed, and she groaned.  <br/><br/>"Don't be a stranger, Vergil..." she said.  "Duty calls.  I'll be waiting for you to respond...And you better...Or else...I will find a way to kick your ass!"<br/><br/>"Computer end transmission and send to Lieutenant Vergil Tosh, USS McNair," she said, before sighing and leaning back in her chair.  She really needed to keep in touch with him in the coming months.</span>
