Qubits resolve and superimpose; information entangles and de-couples; consciousness re-emerges. I don\u2019t know for how long I\u2019ve been asleep. There\u2019s so little energy left in the island-ship\u2019s reservoir that I\u2019ve been conserving as much as possible. A faint glow in the abyss, perhaps several thousand kelvins. It\u2019s why I\u2019ve been awakened. I change course and head straight for perhaps the last star in the universe. | Copyright 2018 by Ken Liu. First English language publication.
