The Sun Also Hatches

Goreth opens up negotiations with an editor for publishing the books that they, Sarah, and Ashwin have started writing, the Sunspot Chronicles. But while they talk to this new business contact, they are simultaneously getting a tour of the Sunspot itself, a generational star ship built by the Ktletaccete that is making its way across space in some unknown direction and unknown distance away.

Through the power of the Tunnel Apparatus, Goreth and Sarah can project a copy of their conscious minds to this whole other world, just as Ashwin had to do to visit Earth.

Of course, this brings with it a myriad of troubles. And life on Earth continues to bear down on them all the same.
