[Cass gives the console a little wave. Her smile is light, but a little uncertain. She doesn't make entries like this often; she doesn't like the spotlight, the focus on the words she's speaking.

But this could be important.]

So, um. Some of you know I - went to the mines. In the mountains. Got back yesterday.

Didn't...find much. Carts, that they used. [The smile fades.] And...bodies. That were just...left there. [She'd considered bringing them back, even if she had to do it one at a time, but she didn't know if that would be...disrespectful.]

Looked like - they fell, usually. Didn't see any, um. Foul play.

[A beat.]

That's it. ...What - did I miss?

You mean the bodies?

[She cringes slightly as she says the word 'bodies'. This was a little too close to what she had seen underwater for her liking, kedan culture or no.]

Yeah. [She doesn't read anything into the cringe; there are a lot of memories that would cause it.]

It's...sad.

Not really the word I'm thinking of right now.

[More like creepy. Disturbing. Night-mare inducing. On top of whatever other synonyms her brain could come up with.]

Death...is sad. More than - anything else.

I can think of a couple things even sadder.

[Except she's really, really trying not to think about her dad. not then. Not until she gets back home and can do something about it.]

...but you have a point.

There has to be something we can do.
