The Memories (A Cashuy/Cassini x Huygens Book)

[Stories of Origin Arc] Chapter 2 - Identity #1

"I am thinking about having a Saturn orbiter with the probe to Saturn or Titan."

"..."

"You know what? I am going to name this orbiter after Jean Dominique Cassini for his discoveries at Saturn."

"Let's do it!"

Cassini's POV

That's where I began to exist, spiritually. Day by day, those who want to achieve a dream-a orbiter of Saturn fight to make me come alive. They went through a lot of disagreement due to an incident in Ulysses, my older sister that went to study the sun.

I was chosen by the competition. But I had a spiritual connection to my twin sister...Now, I still think about her. Every time...When I was in high bay, where I really came alive - that is where I think of her.

The astronomers all tried to convince me that I should be the next to fly. That's why I was destined to meet my twin sister. I heard this whole story from rosetta and her partner, Phile along with Stardust and Deep impact. Their mission is one of the scientific objectives that my twin sister trying to achieve. Maybe that explained why Rosetta, Stardust and Deep Impact knew me and my twin sister very well.

It was so successful that both of us can really come alive and be the next to fly. Both of us were excited to meet each other in the real world. But...It will not stay long.

"Cassini?"

I shook myself when huygens called me.

"Yes, Huygens?"

"Are you...Are you crying...?"

"Uh?"

"I saw your tears."

As both Huygens and I were in the high bay after some kind of hypersleep, I was thinking about something. I don't know why I cried so much until Huygens call me. I didn't realize that I am crying. I must remember my twin sister so a lot that I cry, it really hurt me a lot when I think about her.

"Cassini, don't cry...You are also making me cry..."

"I am so sorry, Huygens. I was thinking about the day when I meet my twin sister one last time in a tragic way."

"A twin sister?"

"A kind of. But she isn't able to see me in the real world. anymore."

"Why?"

"Oh Huygens, you are too young to learn it..."

"Wha- Cassini! I am a Teenager now after staying in Titan for so long! This is a serious issue that is making you cry! You can't hide it away, as more you hide it - the more emotional it will become! You need to split it out!"

"Okay...But embrace yourself, Huygens. You may be crying too."

"I am brave, don't you ever worry about that!"

Huygens' POV

I must know why Cassini cries so hard for her twin sister. I forget what is the name of her twin sister, but I know she holds a big piece of who Cassini is.

"Huygens, the truth is...This is not my original appearance. It was because of my sister that I was forced to be redesigned."

"What's happening...?"

"Huygens..."

I saw Cassini starting to cry even harder. She still can't believe that this is reality. What could lead to this for both Cassini and her sister during that time? Why Cassini was forced to redesign? Who is this twin sister that Cassini said about? I need to deeper and save Cassini from her emotional scars.
