Dear Velia,
You only sent a list of eight movies, and I wanted to get through every
single one, which is why my reply is a little late, but attached, you’ll
find my thoughts on each of them. If it’s going to be a shared experience,
then let’s share it. I don’t have all the time in the world, so to speak,
but I’m not constantly bogged down by my responsibilities. In fact, I quit
my job just today. I’m still working there, since it’s customary to give two
weeks notice before you stop going into work. I just had to stop tying my
identity to my father’s. I love the guy, but I’ve lived my whole life in his
shadow. I moved when he moved, I say the kinds of things that he would say.
He didn’t do that on purpose, and when I told him my plans to leave, he was
one hundred percent supportive. He still sees me as his little baby boy
sometimes, but he recognizes that I am well into adulthood, and I can make
my own decisions now. They may be bad decisions—you may even call
them mistakes—but it’s time that I fly the nest, and find my own way. I’m
not entirely sure what I’m going to do with myself now, but I think I’m
gonna go back on land. I’ve saved up enough resource vouchers to keep myself
going at least for a few months without having any official work. The dome
where we brought in all those immigrants isn’t the only settlement there is
on the Australian continent. Some aren’t doing so great right now, and
they’re always looking for good hard-working people to help them repair
their infrastructure. The platform is about to leave and head back towards
the Atlantic Ocean, so now is my chance to get off. Don’t worry, though.
Unlike on the ocean, there are towers that people use to stay connected. I
won’t be out of communications range, and will pretty much always be able to
link up to the server to check my messages, and send replies. I might have a
harder time accessing entertainment, like those movies we both watched, but
we’ll worry about that later. I’m more anxious about the Valkyries. My
scientist friends really think that it’s going to happen any day now. The
next time we speak, I may be in a very different living situation than I am
now. I’ve been thinking about doing this for a while now, especially since
hearing from Corinthia for the first time gave me some much-needed
perspective. I didn’t quite decide until yesterday, though, which is why
you’re hearing about it before she does. You can tell her if you want, or I
will. I appreciate the little video clip of your introduction. You’ve sent
me some nice photos before, so in return here’s one of me to remember me by.
Still under your spell,
Condor
