    Summary

    I see the coconut crab who swims in your neighbour's pool at night. Maybe Simon's in there, too. Who else holds their breath in there, Betty?

    Betty is being digested by Golb. She doesn't have time to dwell on this, though, she has to secure a place in a decent research program and launch her career as an antiquarian. It would help if she could sleep at night. There's something wrong with the pool next door.

    Summary

    Five Pebbles was pretty sure his story was coming to an end, alone in the snow, covered by his collapsed superstructure with no way out.
    The world, however, gave him a second chance in the form of a weird green thing that seemed to...
    ...Throw him back in time?
    Now with memories of freezing cold and information on how to not only fix the rot, but also fix Moon as well, he promised himself he would do whatever he could to never have to relive this awful cold all alone.
    The isolation, cold, pain, and hundreds of thousands of cycles worth of thinking made him dead set on never going through that ever again. Even if that meant ripping off his umbilical before that could ever happen.

    In the meantime... The rest of the local group is confused. After all, the Pebbles they knew was a pretensious jerk who killed Moon then cut all communications, but the one that came back to them was a paranoid mess who seemed to space out every few minutes.
    ...How odd.

    It all begins with a thought.

    If only we could have gone ourselves, they think, staring at the scar on their messenger’s breast, perhaps things would have turned out for the better.

    Futile. But then…
