Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: This story is really about how Charlie tries to patch up her relationship with her sister, Cath. They too have been out of communication for a long time, and now they struggle to understand each other. When they've cleared the air, the story ends naturally.
Con: Replace the message from Mars with a corporate problem of some sort and the story is exactly the same.
