Amira was five when the zois started arriving in the solar system. Fascinated with the huge, cell-like creatures floating among the stars, she became an astronaut and xenobiologist. Now, she and three other astronauts have taken residence in a zoi as it leaves for interstellar space. They have no way of steering its course. Communicating with their non-sentient host is limited to signals of physical needs. Then something starts growing on each of them—and their journey begins a new stage, with far-reaching consequences both for the humans and the zois.
