<p>Brahe sighed quietly. &ldquo;They can&rsquo;t. This is just a projection. A description based on what I know the stars to look like combined with information based on where they are relative to the fisheye lens on the side of the Dreamer Module.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;And so you project that combination into a sim?&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Yes. It&rsquo;s here for anyone to see, but I have been too tired to tell many people.&rdquo; A long pause, and then, &ldquo;Yes, too tired.&rdquo;</p>
<p>There was a quiet lie in that admission, but Ioan let it slip by. &ldquo;Can you tell me some more about what I&rsquo;m seeing?&rdquo;</p>

<p>&ldquo;Of course, Mx. Bălan,&rdquo; Brahe said, audibly brightening.</p>
<p>He pointed first to the brightest star, low on the horizon. &ldquo;There, see? That is the sun. The launch arms let us go at such a point that we are traveling along the ecliptic, in order to use some of the existing orbital velocity we were already on. We have a disadvantage from Pollux, as we were released counter to that orbit.&rdquo;</p>
<p>He pointed at another star, one that almost seemed to be creeping slowly across the field of view, the source of that parallax sliding. &ldquo;That is Jupiter, there. You can see it moving only by virtue of the fact that we used it as a slingshot several days into the journey. We are millions of kilometers away from it by now, but it is still one of the things that we are closest to. That is how you know that we are on Castor. Pollux will be using Saturn as a slingshot planet, a fortuitous trade-off given the orbital advantage I mentioned. There was a touch of maneuvering after launch to get the trajectories to work out.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Eventually, even Codrin lay back in the grass. Lay there with Tycho Brahe in all his sadness and happiness and wisdom and romanticism. Lay there and looked up at the stars ey knew not for how long.</p>
