Sirius has finally returned from his time in the Keywork; for him, only about a week has passed, but to the rest of the universe, he has been gone for about a year and a half.
He is conflicted about what he should say to a world that was convinced one of their greatest minds had perished. After consulting with his mentor about the true nature of the Keywork, both men agree that the people at large would be better off not knowing of the bleak afterlife that awaits them all. Instead, Sirius decides to stick solely to a scientific explanation, and fabricates a set of passable, though still extremely exciting, algorithms and explanations about the energy that binds the planets together.
Sirius is lauded as a hero of the scientific community and is given an award at a ceremony in his honor; Meri, also in attendance, simultaneously struggles to find out where she stands now that her husband has returned -- especially since she has been seeing Colten, the police officer who saved her in "Goodnight, Fair Lady"
