It was difficult to keep track of the exact time we’d been on Kalka, but Mikri was happy to supply a specific answer. Two months, a week, five days, seventeen hours, and fifty-three minutes. I half-expected him to count it all the way down to the femtosecond.

The time had flown by in the blink of an eye; the Vascar apparently had repaired our ship within a week, but they had to wait for Earth

Mikri was a quick, insatiable, unhappy reader. He’d been patched up as good as new within a few hours, suggesting some crazy regenerative technology; it was like nothing had happened. However, he’d kept his promise to read despite the short recovery. In the few weeks that we’d been here since the incident, he’d called Frankenstein “bunk science.” The Odyssey was superstitious nonsense of n

It was wild to think we were sleeping under an alien roof, and interacting with one on a regular basis. As grating as o

The orbital defense network was the first thing that we noticed at Kalka; thousands of platforms that were brimming with ships and massive cannons. The Vascar had mouthwatering manufacturing capabilities, though I was certain it was much easier for them to escape their gravity well. There was no electric glow across the entire continent, on the night side of the world. Earth, by comparison, had l

The Vascar appeared to have form-fitting suits, though it was tough to tell if their heads were actually that poofy. The first thing I noticed, as one’s grip pushed the interior airlock inward, was that they appeared to have segmented claws; that is, they bent at two joints, like ours. While human fingers were like little hotdogs inside astronaut gloves, theirs were curved and tapered. Their bodies seemed stocky, with
