Codrin not sure how ey feels about always being the amanuensis for everything big. Not tired, really, but frustrated?
Tangents/interludes throughout about how The History and Mythos affected launch-side society, maybe also sys-side via transmissions
Maybe Tycho dies, or invests entire in the remote ship, then gets the Sarah Williams quote read at memorial?

Codrin struggles with feeling completely reactive and unable to be proactive. It’s not that ey doesn’t want to take on the project, but ey feels obligated to; it’s not that ey can’t decide whether or not to join the Artemis, but that ey can’t do so unless Dear and its partner do so first.
