Now I come to it, this is actually pretty hard to say...

It's no secret that the last few months have been a bit stressful for medlab people. Actually "utterly hellish" would probably cover it. But the insanity has made me realise something that I needed to sooner rather than later so maybe it's not such a bad thing.

I've already spoken to a couple of people quietly about this, but it's time I - or rather we, since this covers Hank too - let people in on things. Basically? I'm taking up a job in Edinburgh, running the Foundation Moira and I started last year. It needs someone on the ground there to make sure things run properly and it's a great opportunity for me to expand my career. Hank's got some part-time research work, which means he'll have more time to devote to Billy and other things. We're leaving around the second week of December in order to do the family Christmas thing before leaving entirely, and we should be there for New Year's.

We've talked to Moira and Jean and the Professor, and arrangements have been made for a replacement medic to come in or for one of the teleporters to get either one of us in emergencies.

I know our leaving will upset some people and I'm sorry for that, but sometimes you have to move on and it's that time for me now. Thank you all for your friendship and kindness and remember, we'll be only a short 'port away.

then get Illyana to port you.

I won't.

Good luck, and Godspeed.

Keep in touch, you hear me? Across the Pond's a little far for me solo, but the woman's rich so a visit may be in order once you get settled.

Salaam.

I'll miss you (and maybe be just a wee bit envious that you're back in Scotland!). Take care and I hope you're all three happy.

It sounds like a good opportunity for both of you. I'll miss you, but as you said, oceans don't mean quite as much to us in terms of distance.

I've got to go meet David's family for Christmas, but mind if I come see you guys for New Years? Just because you're moving to a different country, is no reason why I shouldn't stay in touch, right?
