Twenty-four years after the founding. A hundred and ten thousand people, a whole adult generation born aboard who have never stood on a planet and never lived a year without the emergency authority. It was meant to be temporary and it's finally about to sunset. Then a transport comes in with proof of a preservation measure that could keep the Cairn's own sky viable, by moving the cost onto an inhabited sky downstream. The founding principle was written when holding to it cost nothing. Now they find out whether they meant it.
The end of the saga.
