Marv and the Ghost Shark

This is what we wanted. This is what we feared. Encountering new life. Endangering our lives. These were some of the last words I heard from my mother on the last transmission from Marv. It was difficult to watch from afar. Not even to watch. To wait. To wonder. It helped me to write the reports. To smooth out all the roughness, pare down all the inessential, and restrain all the rawness from the contents of the data packets that the crew sent before that last transmission. When I saw my mother as a member of a crew on a daring first mission, performing her duties, exhibiting solidarity with her crewmates, I am able to let go of that lurching dread that wakes me almost every morning. Humanity at last discovers an inhabited exoplanet and learns its first lesson about first contact.
