[It’s over.]

[I… I can hear them.]

[The silence. Just behind the silence.]

[It’s… cold out there y’know. They said not to. But I’m so hungry. And the moo— no!]

[ The burrows are empty.]

[The fisheries decay.]

[No meowing. No thumping]

[Just… ju— the howling.]

[The howling….]

[They’re near.]

[I… I don’t have much time. They can smell me… I can smell them]

[Abandon Eolre.]

[Dont come for me. I… we … am lost.]

[Just… just.. don’t forget u— arow?]

[Arf!]

[Transmission cut with a clatter and howling in the distance. End of log.]

- Last transmission from the lost colony of Eolre, from an unknown comms officer. Do not return.

NORA BRYCE and JAMES TOBACK in ASCENSION (2014) | Chapter Two

I've never felt more suffocated yet comforted than when reading To Be Taught, If Fortunate. There is no point to it than sharing the genuine wonder for knowledge. There are no character arcs, no plot points, but Chambers conveys the wonder and delight of life and the sheer horror of it with so much grace.

Its a weird little book. I've read something similar by Andy Weir and absolutely hated it for being a science textbook. But when Becky Chambers taught me of the wonders of science, I thought I was fortunate to witness this; her sharing her effervescent wonder with life, water, science and how everything fit together. I'm not someone who is held spellbound by science but she held me by her wonder and when someone shares joy, how can you refuse it?
