Cynthia --
Sharp-tongued, cautious, generous, and perceptive,
Sister of Jonathan,
Lover of science fiction, science fact, and time off from the stresses of life,
Who feels agitated by noise, controlled by society, and loneliness in a crowd,
Who needs television, good books, and friends,
Who gives understanding, encouragement, and friendship,
Who fears life, death, and the evils that we are capable of,
Who would like to see intelligent life from another planet, intelligent life on this planet, and an end to conspiracies against anyone everywhere
Who lives on a planet that spins silently in space, yet screams to be heard by others who, like ourselves, feel alone in the distant reaches of the galaxy,
