Dear Condor,
Thank you for attaching yours and Pascal’s medical records. That’s really
going to help, not only with this one issue, but any other problems that
might arise in the future. It’s good to have a full picture of your health.
Thank you for being protective of me, but I want you to remember that he’s
your father, and I know that he did the best he could with the cards that he
was dealt. It was a tough situation that I can’t even begin to imagine. On
the ship, the adults had to have a it takes a village mentality, or
we never would have survived. I only had one official parent, but I was
raised by just about everyone on that tin can way or another. You were just
out in the world, where no one really cares about anyone else unless they
have some specific reason to. I’m so glad that your father found a way to
provide you with the medical care that you needed, despite how shallow it
sounds like his pockets were. I would have been heartbroken if mom had told
me about you, and when I tried to reach out, I found out that you were dead.
We will never meet in person, but at least we get to converse, and that
might be thanks to your secret nurse and her laced chicken noodle soup. It’s
important to frame it positively. I’m doing fine. I still have symptoms, but
it helps to sit still, which is perfect, since that’s how my job works. I do
need to get exercise, though, so I walk down the corridors, which Bray helps
me with. He still feels guilty, but here’s the way I look at it. Yeah, the
STD triggered the epigenetic disease in me, but the doctor says it was
better that it happened now, instead of when I’m older.
Anything could have caused it to surface, including some age-related
conditions, and it would have been much harder for me to recover under those
circumstances. I don’t know what the future holds, but he and I are still
together. Speaking of which, we have not had any time to get into your open
letter to the base. Everyone loved hearing from you. They are aware of how
bad things are on Earth, but most of them don’t have any firsthand accounts
of what it’s really like. Many of the older people here who left connections
behind have found those connections since severed, due to death or outdated
information, probably because of the collapse of society. They appreciate
hearing from someone, even if it’s not all great. On a personal note, my
friend, the garment fabricator, seems to be taking a particular interest in
you. Her name is Velia. I’ve attached her contact card in case you want to
have a second person to talk to up here. I’m sure she would really love it.
Keeping it light,
Corinthia
