Dear Corinthia,
I hate that you were so anxious about my reply. It definitely didn’t help
that you had to wait a whole week. Damn this blasted light lag! Rest assured
now, though, if you keep talking to me, I’ll keep talking back. By the way,
I do realize that I sent two messages by the time you could respond to the
first one. I’ll try to be better about that in the future. It’s just that I
had an update, and I was too excited to wait, so I didn’t really think about
it. I don’t know anyone else in space, so every message I’ve ever tried to
send has arrived at its destination almost immediately. I hear that
researchers are currently trying to figure out how to send superluminal
signals, but I don’t know how close they are to realizing that dream, and
either way, people like us will probably be stuck with regular radios for
the foreseeable future. It would be really cool, though—wouldn’t it—If we
could talk to each other as if we were in the same room together? Surely
it’s a pretty big priority. We’re not the only two people having this
problem. You said that you don’t know much about Earth, but do you know
about any of the other colonies? A lot of the rest of the solar
system has been colonized by now too. I believe that they were already
developing these other bases when your ship was launched, though we were
babies, so maybe no one has thought to bring it up to you since then. I
remember asking our dad once if we could move to one of the outpost worlds,
and if any of them would be better, but he says that life isn’t any easier
anywhere else. That makes sense, and now that you’ve described how hard it
is in the habitats, I fully believe it. Earth was perfect for us, and fixing
it wouldn’t be any more difficult than starting somewhere new. I guess there
are no good places left. But we find little pockets of happiness where we
can. Because of my father’s respectable position with the dome’s leadership,
we’re afforded a larger private cabin. I won’t send any photos now, if you
don’t want to send your own, but perhaps we can swap? I would sure like to
get a better idea of where you are. Who knows? They might be strikingly
similar. Let me know what you can do.
Sorry about the extra message,
Condor
