Science Fiction Story: Four years ago, Kes Marrow's only flagged stat moved for half a second — long enough to mark him, not long enough to mean anything. The Integration has been waiting on him ever since: Reassess upon measurable engagement. Tonight he's slipping past the colony fence with his two best friends, hiking three klicks to a Flux rift that pulses teal in the dark. He's spent four years calling it a defect. He has no idea what's actually waiting for him in that light. He's done waiting to find out.
