Excerpt:
\u201cHow can we know for certain what the truth is, unless we seek to find it?\u201d an aphid named Quintillion argued.

She kept her wings respectfully folded as she stood before the Council of Grand Numerators. But she dared to sweep aside the train of glittering white filaments that plumed from her back, a particular characteristic of her tribe.

Episode Art Description: Digital drawing. At center, facing forward, is a tardigrade, whose body is perched on a rock so that the left side and bottom are visible. Perched on the tardigrade\u2019s back is an aphid, sitting upright, with wings outstretched and the front forelimbs raised. Feathery protrusions emerge from the aphid\u2019s back and lay on either side of the tardigrade. Blades of grass rise from behind the two figures. Rain falls at an angle from the top right to bottom left.
