He stands beneath the scattering ashes of humanity’s first contact, and knows that this is somehow right. What he has witnessed is not the destruction of the Sycorax, but of humanity, and they haven’t noticed the blood on their hands.
This is not his Earth (the adopted and adoptive planet), but something new and strange and terrifying. The song of innovation has been stifled, and he is standing where he always has, straining to hear the echoes of a lost race.
He’ll have to find a new sort of poetry in the death of innocence.
There is nothing else left.

Essentially, I'm jealous. *nodnod* Great stuff!
