   Summary

   Stratt tasks Dr. Grace with studying Ken, a manufactured plastic life form, after the drama of the Hail Mary's launch.

   ***

   Stratt follows my gaze. "Dr. Grace, this is Ken. Ken, this is Dr. Grace. He will be working with you for the foreseeable future. Please remove your sunglasses."

   "Ken" raises his head but doesn't rise from his slouch. He lazily removes the chunky shades and tosses them away with a grin. He has a smaller pair underneath.

   "Remove *all* your sunglasses," Stratt barks.

   Ken scowls and takes off the remaining pair. I stagger backward in shock. "He's…it's…me!" Ken looks just like me—that is, if I'd spent all summer tanning at the beach and had my minimal fashion sense surgically removed.
