Before the first choice
In 2189, you tend the greenhouse on Vesper research station, in orbit around Jupiter. Dr Lena Hart is studying an ice sample from the moon Europa inside a sealed cabinet. The pea seedlings growing beside it have begun turning away from their lamp. A strange afternoon is about to interrupt the ordinary work of keeping things alive.

- Jules Okafor
