The only thing that could have made this better would be a supply of dried fish snacks, but that would require getting up. He couldn't even send Lao-Zhao or Lao-Shen for them, because if one of them got up, Da Qing would have to, too. How this cat had to suffer!

Captain Ji contemplated the star chart glowing above their console. The course set by their predecessor twenty-one cycles ago gleamed, as always, a hopeful green arc. It was leading them further and deeper into an outer arm of the galaxy in search of that elusive prize: a planet welcoming enough and sufficiently resourced that the Prosperity’s residents could establish a home without importuning any pre-existing sentient life.
