"In 2001, Maureen O'Brien wrote her excellent song Our Family Banshee. In this song, the protagonist flies to the stars- many, many light years from Ireland. We also see in the song that communication back home is slow (possibly only by starship), and so there isn't a lot of news that gets to the colony. One day, she sees the family banshee, keening out the death of one of her family; and she is told that her mother passed away that very morning. Maureen wrote an incredibly touching, heartfelt song about how light years cannot bar the ways between family love and connection.And in my twisted brain, all I saw were the components of an interstellar communication system (in other words, an ansible) that, by using the Fae, can cross light years instantly. And, with the application of Science, formerly limited resources might not be quite as limited as we thought..." - Steve Macdonald | |||||||||||||
