by Nōnen Títi
Part four in "Of a Note in a Cosmic Song".A devastating disease has left the colony on the planet Kun DJar in tatters. The possibility of starting a new settlement on the other coast is the only hope they now cling to.For Nini and Kunag, joining the expedition begins as an escape from the misery, but soon the myriad of apparently sentient life forms begins to lead them into a wondrous and deeply alien world.Left behind in the crippled town, Benjamar struggles to uphold law and order – the law and order which many colonists fled their home world to escape. Yet, without books or written rules, the imminent rebellion of those who have gained control of the remaining DJar weapons, threatens every attempt at civilization.Will the expedition return before the colony finishes tearing itself apart?
