Science Fiction Story: Epilogue - This story progresses over an extended period, from the time "The Good Ship Lollipop" arrives to found the experimental Harrad Colony on Pern through the development and first deployment of a new weapon some fifteen years later.

‘My name is T’Kleesual and also Jubal. I am a Tuull AI and a member of the human clan known to the Tuull as Clan T’Blssut. The Tuull ruling council requested my presence for an unspecified meeting. With me is the avatar of J’Tocost – Caleb, my godson. Also present are my clan head, S’Rndult T’Blssut – Inkie – and her partner AI, T’Krandit – Helva, and the speaker for humans, F’Lpper Lisa Marie.’
<We did not understand, and we are ashamed.> R’Stbkt’s capsule stood with Fannie before the avatars of Tuull’s rescue contingent and another fifteen retired ships’ AIs. Rust Bucket was addressing the Tuull ruling council, <My human asshole buddy helped bring enlightenment, and I wish to be with her ... To assist in stopping the Dangerous Ones.>
It paused, then continued its unprecedented request, <These friends wish to leave retirement. We all want permission to join Clan T’Blssut and help the humans contain the Dangerous Ones. Others will also join us. We will not be useless.>
<Your clans agree to this? They’ll release you and your ships?> asked Lead Counselor T’Bwinkel.
<Fannie made her case very well, > R’Stbkt replied. <These of us before you have been freed to ask you, and they have crews. Others are still awaiting permissions or crews. Of course, I have no ship to request, but I’ll ask the humans to allow me to accompany my asshole buddy in Cheval Jaune or to place me in a new ship and name it Dunkirk.>
