PASS-Fail

Bradley and Connie Hitches have returned to Earth. Their daughter Mayahh is seven, going on eight. The cloistered family has finally consented to a new series of interviews to keep the media at bay. In Part three, Orion's Light, we have met and come to grips with the reality of an alien civilization. The Elioi have resolved their civil war, and humanity is hoping to develop trade contracts with the aliens from the Orion Nebula. However, not all of humanity is happy about working with an alien species. The unresolved issue in Orion's Light, the Precursors, reappear and install threatening monitors in the solar system. Brad, Connie, and their seven-year-old daughter, Mayahh, are thrust into pivotal roles as Humans, and the Elioi are given an ultimatum that will determine the future course of their mutual interstellar expansion. The conditions are not easily met. Will they Pass? Or Fail?
