description
<p> After hundreds of years traversing the vastness of interstellar space, the ship's artificial intelligence begins gestating frozen embryos. It will raise and educate the men and women who will colonize a new world. Unfortunately, the gestation chamber fails after only two children are birthed. With questions to homeworld requiring years for an answer, the AI is uncertain how to continue the mission as their destination looms closer. Meanwhile, alone on the ship, the two children grow into adults under the watchful eye of the AI and its robotic avatars. </p> <p> ------------ </p> <p> <em> Release Dates </em> </p> <p> <em> Prologue — 2022 June 24 </em> </p> <p> <em> Chapter 1 — 2022 June 24 </em> </p> <p> <em> Chapter 2 — 2022 July 01 </em> </p> <p> <em> Chapter 3 — 2022 July 07 </em> </p> <p> <em> Chapter 4 — 2022 July 14 </em> </p> <p> <em> Chapter 5 — 2022 July 21 </em> </p> <p> <em> Chapter 6 — 2022 July 28 </em> </p> <p> <em> Epilogue — 2022 August 04 [end] </em> </p> <p> <em> STEM Puzzles — 2022 August 04 </em> </p> <p> <em> Copyright © 2021, Mark Wilkinson.
