Universal Light, Chapter 8, Part 1
Chapter 8 Tamara’s mind rose slowly from sleep as if from the depths of a cold dark sea. She looked out the window. It was snowing outside the spaceship. No, not a spaceship, a plane.

Universal Light, Chapter 7, Part 2
The clutching crib woke Trimor with a squeeze. He traced a circle with a talon on the polymer material and it sprang open. He had no need of further nourishment; his excretory organ held substantial solid and liquid waste, but he dare not keep Krivax waiting, so he activated his waste breakdown...

Universal Light, Chapter 6, Part 2
