Dear Condor,
That’s great news about the trade deal going through. I would be interested
to know more about your floating dome, and how it’s navigated through the
waters. It seems like something large enough to fit as many people as you
seem to have in your population would move really slowly. As far as dad is
concerned, you can give him my contact information. The way I see it, he has
to take the first steps to building a relationship with me, not the other
way around. If he never sends me a message, then so be it. But I’m not going
to write the first letter, and then sit here in anticipation of a reply.
Thank you for asking, it was very thoughtful of you, and of him. So yes, go
ahead and tell him how to get a hold of me. I don’t know how, uhh, smart he
is, but explain the light lag to him too if he doesn’t understand. That may
make you laugh, but there are some older people here who don’t get how it
works. Which is ridiculous, because they all volunteered for this mission,
having been told how difficult it would be to call back to Earth. I mean,
even if you’re only a geologist, you’re still an astronaut, and you still
need a basic foundation of space science. I dunno. I was a baby when our
ship launched. It was a passenger transport, unlike the ships of old, which
were only for a crew. That is to say, technically, anyone could have flown
on it, with no training whatsoever. That’s how I was, being too young to
learn anything. Still, you would think an adult going on the mission would
expect themselves to be better prepared. Sorry, I’m rambling again.
I’m just a little nervous. I just know that, after I send this message, the
next one could be coming from you, or from our father. Don’t take that as
hesitation, I’ve made my decision, but that’s not going to stop the anxiety.
How about this? Why don’t you respond to me first, and then give him my
number. That way, I can be a little more prepared. Again, he may not want to
reach out at all. You never know what’s going on in someone else’s head. It
just might be easier to at least have one last buffer. I would appreciate
it.
Congratulations on your new immigrant friends,
Corinthia
