Daedalus, August 19, 2056
What is it that makes the PR efforts of the space industry always look so lame? Don't get me wrong. I love space. I think humans are bound to colonize the solar system sooner or later. As Tsiolkovsky said, "The earth is the cradle of mankind, but we cannot stay in the cradle forever." But I have yet to see a space agency that could sell their mother a ride to the corner, let alone to Pluto.
Carson Tyler Inc. announced the Daedalus Project with great fanfare when the five astronauts…

An Unsettling Meeting, July 19, 2056
With the summer trimester, my schedule changed. Peter cut the UNGETF meetings down to once a month. I no longer had classes on Wednesday, the regular UNGETF meeting day. Usually I went in to work in the lab, but occasionally I stayed at home.
As I walked downtown to the meeting that day, the sun was burning hot. I was sweating within a block. It was uncomfortable and I was thirsty, but mainly I was troubled by my membrane design. My artificial biology project was going…

Group 5, July 12, 2056
No announcement of Group 5 commencement was made. I heard one day that a rocket had been launched from Whitesands. A week later there was another and I wondered. I remembered Rhamaposa's call in March. I checked UNGETF's Group 5 website and saw that launches had been happening for a month and a half. Project Daedalus was going ahead.
Group 5 was subdivided into four subgroups. At the heart of it was the L1 construction group. They were responsible for building the actual sun shield.…

The Daily Battle, July 7, 2056
Things were not looking good.
In the Arctic, there was no sign of the methane abating. In some places the water was milky, churning with the gases. Lightning triggered explosions were not unusual. The Group 6 cloud makers had some 150 ships sailing there. Precipitation patterns had changed, but there was no appreciable cooling. Anxiety levels were rising.
In the Antarctic the breakup of the Ronne ice sheet was continuing apace. A few more islands disappeared.
In Europe the…

Theft and Meditation, June 27, 2056
I was between classes in mid-afternoon when Edie phoned.
"Luc. There are men in the shed stealing things."
"Call the police."
"I did. There's no answer."
"What?"
"I tried to stop them, but..."
"Where are the police?"
"I don't know."
"Okay. Lock the door and stay in the house. I'll be right there." I knew she would probably be safe, because of the heavy metal door and frame.
"Good."
I hung up and called the police while I checked my schedule. I was…
