"Command, this is Vasquez. The nebula is alive."

"Copy, Odyssey. What do you mean?"

"It's a single organism. Vast, ancient, aware."

Kaelen appeared beside her. "It's a First Ones' creation. A living cloud, designed to seed planets with life."

"Can we communicate with it?"

"We can try."

Elena opened a channel. "This is Captain Vasquez of the alliance. We come in peace."

The nebula pulsed, and a voice echoed in their minds.

"Welcome. I have been waiting for someone to find me."

"Why were you created?"

"To spread life across the galaxy. The First Ones knew the Devourers would come. They created me to be a backup."

"Can we help you?"

"You already have. By finding me. Now, I can rest."

The nebula's pulse slowed, its light dimming.

"Command, the nebula is entering a dormant state."

"Copy, Odyssey. Good work. Come home."

Elena looked at the living cloud, at the sacrifice it had made.

The universe was vast.

And full of mysteries.

The end.

Dear Friedrich,

I'm writing to tell you that I found your sister. She's alive. She's married now, has a child. She lives in the American zone, in a town called Göttingen. I've attached the address.

I kept my promise. I hope you can go home soon.

Thomas Walker

Friedrich read the letter three times, then a fourth. His hands shook. His eyes blurred. Two years since he'd seen his sister's face. Four years since he'd been captured in the desert. Five years since the war had taken everything.

He'd written to the Red Cross, to the German authorities, to everyone he could think of. No one knew where she was. The bombing had scattered families, destroyed records, erased whole neighborhoods. He'd almost given up.

Now this. An English soldier, a man he'd known for a few hours in a desert wadi, had found her.

He sat at the small table, pulled out paper and pencil.

Dear Thomas,

I have no words. You found my sister. After everything, you found her. I thought she was dead. I thought the bombs had taken her. But she's alive. She's alive because of you.

I will go to her tomorrow. I will hold her child, my nephew, a child I never knew existed. I will tell her about you, about the water you gave me in the desert, about the photograph you carried for two years.

How can I thank you? How can I repay a kindness so large it has no measure?

I was a soldier. You were my enemy. But you were never my enemy, Thomas. You were the man who saw another man dying and chose to help. That is who you are. That is who I want to be.

I am going home. Because of you.

Your friend,
Friedrich

He folded the letter, placed it in an envelope, addressed it to the cottage in England. Then he stood, walked to the window, looked out at the city rebuilding itself from rubble.

Tomorrow, he would see his sister. Tomorrow, he would hold his nephew.

Today, he stood in a small room above a bakery and let himself weep.

Somewhere in England, a man who had been his enemy sat under an oak tree, not knowing what he had done.

But Friedrich knew. And he would never forget.
