Ships are moving on the high sea and nudging into dock. Planes are crossing time zones. Foreign exchanges and futures markets are shifting. Early morning workers are scuttling from New Street Station. Weather fronts are moving in. Social media threads are spinning. From high in the Rotunda, Ultraopticon is watching it all.

Closing Text

They’re travelling away from us now
Our gravity’s pull loosening by the inverse square
Messages take longer to reach us
Their energy comes from other sources
Our ability to perform maintenance dwindles
They’re beyond the heliosheath
Holding a pulsar map

They carry music in their heads
A tissue
A phone
Painkillers
Lipstick?
A toothbrush
Instructions, Ingenuity, and us

Do you read me?
Do you read me?
Do you read me?
