So this is part of a larger story? I’m intrigued about the idea of searching for immortality on a far away planet and want to know how this works.

Yes it is! I'm envisioning a story told through different povs from a team of scientists. I threw in the idea of searching for immortality in the last second after some new worldbuilding edits. Still figuring that out but a few hints are cryptosleep, consciousness transfer, and jelly.

This story was one cool ride, thanks Chris. Love the jellyark, and the notes at the end about how you created this story were great. It’s always interesting to learn how other writers come up with their story ideas and sentence starters, thanks for sharing with us.

I like how you've interwoven the personal with the planetary, Chris, raising the stakes. Nice work.
