Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: Ronda figures it out, and although the message isn’t from aliens, there is at least news that they exist. Her observation at the end, that the aliens are just as negligent as humans, was amusing.
Con: Ronda meets very little in the way of opposition in this story. There’s no conflict and no tension.
