The Lamplighters — A night on the Senn Reach, in the Age of Lanterns. The guild had one rule, and it was engraved on every ring: no window dark that wants to be lit.

A Grammar of Light — How the Ithra wrote, and how we learned to read them. Every Ithran word is drawn inside an aperture: a circle with eight spokes and three radii.

The Last Choir — The final turn on Ennis, from the records of the Choir. In the last turn the lanterns were brought up from every world and hung around the pole of Ennis.

The Listening Years — From the logbooks of the Halden Deep Array. Dish 1 reports structure in the Cygnus null field. Probably the correlator again. Checking.

What the Silence Said — On the gaps in the stream. Some of the silence we receive is not damage. It is refusal — and it is the most Ithran thing in the signal.
