I found it during my last mailcheck before bed that night, and printed it out so I could read it first thing the next morning. I'm sorry my last letter was rather sad, but I guessed you'd want someone you knew to tell you about the accident down in Melas, rather than just hear it on the news.
People are still very shocked by it.
Even before those four geologists were killed there were too many graves in Marineris, but I'm sure there'll be many more before the whole canyon system is mapped-out. Anyway, I'll try to make this letter a little happier, by telling you what I've been doing recently. I've joined Mars Heritage. Now don't get mad. Mars Heritage isn't a political organization at all.
