Pathway to the Stars: Part 8, Dreamy & Deep

"This is it. This is humanity stepping it up and demonstrating to the universe that we are ready to preserve life, reanimate it, and protect the Universe itself from the laws of uncontrolled chaos rather than destroy life or watch the universe expand beyond repair." Vesha has been through much training in the Virtual Universe, but soon her time will come to return to the real world.

Leading to this, Vesha's dear friend, Najem Grace, has long weighed on the prospects of physiological optimization yet has slowed technological advancements on her part, avoiding physiological optimization. Perhaps Vesha's outcome will help her decide; perhaps it won't. Is this the new evolution? Or are we tempting fate?

We also meet Joanne Gallant, a musician with all the awards and the talent that goes with it. She draws from many experiences in life yet with deep questions. Joanne wonders if there is more than this, more she can do beyond the applause and recognition.

Where is Eliza Williams, the founder of Pathway, in all of this? How will she help both Najem and Joanne? Find out in this story!
