Chapter 14 The End

Dara’s legacy eventually spread throughout the known worlds of several galaxies. The insurrection of The Others on Earth was gently put down

The eventual descendents of Geir Avery returned to Earth and became the core of the Earth’s now vast space faring fleet.

Human and Cray, unable to completely meld their still remarkably different genetic structure were able to adapt to and adopt from each other

New species were discovered; and the spirit of Dara’s child-like acceptance of someone so outwardly strange was employed to include them.

Many challenges remained; diseases not only remained, new ones seemed to arrive on each new ship. Conflicts erupted; some on Earth itself

But on the 200th Anniversary of the Voluntary Transition of Dara Branson, a grateful people spread over nearly as many planets, gave thanks

Goss Defen, a native of Zeneb II and now working in the Intergalactic Solar Observatory, was in charge of monitoring over 1,000 suns.

His observations of N57001A, a rapidly expanding star of inestimable age troubled him greatly. Close enough to harm Earth, or even Zeneb II

The pleas of this young scientist had fallen on deaf ears. An unearned confidence had overtaken the elders of both the Cray and Humans.

It would be 100 years on before the traditional ceremonies included the courageous Goss Defen in worshipful honor of heroes who saved Earth
