Nanna Ouyang stands down from Ecology at sixty-eight, to the orchard benches and the long game of stones.
Nanna Ouyang and Sergei Petrov name their son Zaid. The nursery lamps stay warm.

Born on the first watch: Ngozi Ouyang, generation 3. The ship holds 689 souls tonight.
The youngest aboard is now Suyin Ouyang, minutes old, asleep. 711 souls.
A wedding at dimming. Nanna Ouyang, Ecology; Vernon Kong, Life Systems. The ship approves in its way: the lights held steady throughout.
Nanna Ouyang isolates a repeating radio source in the wake. Natural, almost certainly. The word "almost" keeps the commons busy a month.
