In Numbers Greg Egan I dream that I'm floating in the void between the stars. Untethered. No ship in sight. Suitless, naked to the vacuum. I search frantically for the sun, as if merely knowing its direction coul save me, but I'm spinning much to fast to find my bearings, and each time I catch a glimpse of what might be th ehome star, I lose sight of it again, before I can be sure. "Last night"--as day nineteen came to a close with Callaghan's condition unchanged—the orders arrived from Earth, officially canceling the mission. We shut down the drive for six hours while we rotated Cyclops one hundred and eighty degrees. Now we are decelerating at 1.3 gees—as fast as we can, within safety parameters--but we'll still be traveling away from the solar system for fourteen and a half more days before we even come to a halt, and then it will take as long again just to get back to the point where deceleration began. |
