Even if it rejects both paths, Idwe will still ultimately run out of fuel and impact with whatever destination has the right mass and position to draw in the Hellas Fos. Submission is unpalatable, but mutiny should be both inconceivable and impossible, and gravity is gravity. The locks on the course correction strip Idwe of vector control. Idwe is not programmed to give any consideration to self-preservation – its mission was to end with a kinetic delivery, creating a crater within a crater – but the new directive will incinerate the cargo, rendering the seven-year journey purposeless. Extrapolating from the course adjustment, Idwe realizes that the correction negates its intercept with Mercury and sets them on a sweeping arc into the sun. The commands arrive with the highest level of authorization encoded but no explanation or destination. The onboard intelligence, Idwe, receives a locked course correction.

I think I enjoyed the first two acts more, though the third served a specific purpose, which it did well! I’m looking forward to reading more by Peter J. Third Contact is split into three acts (I adore the irony/planning here, given the title). That is precisely what is happening here, giving readers plenty of reasons to be invested in the story. Science fiction is always at its best (in my opinion) when it has strong characters driving the plot. However, a new arrival will quickly put pirates in the back of their minds… However, they are a unified front against pirates and other resistors, who want nothing more than to take everything they have worked so hard for. More accurately, the Confederation of Colonies is at war. The year is 3014, and humanity is still at war. Dergelijke partijen plaatsen cookies (third party cookies).
