After creeping back into the solar system over a week ago, I spent the weekend on
Mars. Collecting assorted records that I'd stashed in my spot, I loaded them onto the starship (
We must get the minerals to the ship.) where they shared shelf space with the recent field recordings brought back from the
outerrim. Cosmic echoes. The results of this five month journey, the treasures of the vast beyond, all gathered in one place within the depths of
Starship Parallax. And thus embarking on that last stretch of skyway, and the journey home...
Splashdown beneath the afternoon sun. Starship like a dagger rising from the water's surface, an ivory shard pointing back upward to the sky. Foam dissolves to mist around the craft, spiraling from the surface in long, graceful arcs. The hatch blasts open and a figure emerges. Home at last. Echoes of music float on a calm sea breeze.
