Hart sat in her chair for a good half an hour before the comm signal she had sent out was returned.
On her screen was her daughter, her ears a bit longer, her teeth a bit pointier, but it was still Clara. "Mother. Why have you called?"
"I've called because no matter how much you tweak with her mind, Cassi is miserable with you. I know her and I know you. You're repressing things or whatever for your own reasons but it's not helping and we both know I'm right. So you're going to make Cassi go off by herself on an upcoming mission and I'm going to convince her to come back to the Plunder." Hart replied. "I know you want what's best for her but this is killing her. We both know that."
Clara stared at her for a good long while, obviously wondering things like How did she know I used a power on her and how did she know how bad Cassi was doing.
"...There's a weapon testing site in deep Siberia. I'm sending you the coordinates. She will be holding the courtyard. Meet her there." The signal then went blank.
Jo's face fell for a second as the screen faded. "I love you, Pumpkin."
She shook off her melancholy and activated her comm. "Back towards Earth, people. We're getting Cassi back."
