A well-packed crate was delivered to the Lifesong Family Foundation via transporter from USS Vincennes. Attached to the crate was a PADD with a single video file on it. When played, it was an image of Captain Meadows in her ready room, speaking directly to the camera with a warm expression:
"Dear Lorish. I am so sorry for what has happened to you. I know nothing I can say will make up for being without your family, but after hearing your story, your bravery and strength has inspired all of us here on the starship Vincennes.
Please find enclosed a special gift to you, from everybody here aboard Vincennes. We built it specially for you, so it’s a unique gift that nobody else in the entire galaxy has - just as special as you are! There are instructions included if you need them, but you’re a smart cookie, so I’m sure you’ll figure it out in no time! Inside is everything you need to keep it going for as long as you want.
I hope you enjoy it, and learn something valuable while you use it.
I know the Federation will do everything it can to help you during this difficult time, and the future will be much brighter for you, I promise. Know that you have friends here aboard Vincennes - maybe you will even serve with us one day! Feel free to send us messages via subspace, if you ever want to learn more, or just want to talk. We’d love to hear how you’re getting on.
From everybody here aboard Vincennes, happy holidays!"
