I do not have TIME for this

Oh my god what is this I don't even.

"Hey, is there any way I can do more than one message?"

"I guess. Why?"

" I want to send a message to my folks, and they think I'm just off, black ops, whatever, but I also wanna talk to someone with security clearance. So it's, what, five seconds of your time, cutting the message in two. I'll even say which is which and everything."

"Sure."

"Okay. We're good, Ford?"

"Yeah, we're cool. Go."

"Right. Yeah. This is for ... Hi, Mom! And, uh. Dad. Hey. We're able to send messages out right now, obviously, so I thought I'd -- say hi. I'm, uh, I'm good. Things're good. Kinda crazy, but ... there's good people here. And I'm okay. Don't worry, Mom, it's all ... Um. Dad, look after the car for me, so if -- if I get leave -- I want her to still be running sweet. And I guess that's it. Uh. Bye. Is that okay?"

"Yeah. I mean, believe me, after Dr. Becket I'm just glad you knew what to say."

"Did I?"

"Look, Lieutenant Kowalski, you wanna do your second message?"

"I guess so. Okay. Uh. This is for Stella Kowalski. Hey, Stell. You probably got all the briefings already and you got a million things to do, so I'll make this quick. Just, uh, thanks for this. It's been nutty, but this other galaxy thing, it doesn't -- it's not exile, it's my, whatsit, reprieve. You do your Earth thing, and that's -- I hope you're okay. That we're good. And I love you. So -- goodbye."

"...You done?"

"Yeah. Thanks. You can shut it off now."

Are you super sure you don't have time for it? Because it would be perfectly reasonable if you found time ;) especially in light of the fact that Ray would be hounding Fraser for *days* thinking the poor guy has no one to send a letter home to.
