[Cassandra glances over before focusing on her wind up music box, and begins slowly turning the handle. Music starts to play, a tune that may be familiar to people from Earth. She's not doing this to play music for everyone though, so she stops after a handful of seconds, looking thoughtful.]

It's funny. You hate home until you've been gone from it long enough, and then you get homesick and home is all you can think about. No matter how shitty it is, you forget about all of the bad things and only care about the people you left behind.

[The music box is picked up and clinched in her hand.]

Do you think it's possible to get a message back to someone? Has anyone tried communicating outside the ship yet? If things like this - [She drops the music box in her hand on the table she's sitting at.] can come through the Ingress to us, we have to be able to send things back through it.

Sure they do, I just prefer to put it off for as long as possible. ( it's hard to do where he comes from, in his opinion. especially when 3/4ths of his immediate family died before he was born. and the majority of his extended. )

Working on it, but I'm not made for ship duty either. Also I know someone who won't take "No, I won't" for an answer.

( ah, family. )

[There's just a long stretch of silence.

She doesn't even know how to respond to that.

So she doesn't. She just lets the silence sit there, until she feels uncomfortable. And then she ends her end of things abruptly.]
