Peter Watts Quotes

I Coast Through The Abyss On The Colder Side Of Neptune's Orbit. Most Of The Time I Exist Only As An Absence, To Any Observer On The Visible Spectrum: A Moving, Asymmetrical Silhouette Blocking The Stars. But Occasionally, During My Slow Endless Spin, I Glint With Dim Hints Of Reflected Starlight. If You Catch Me In Those Moments You Might Infer Something Of My True Nature: A Segmented Creature With Foil Skin, Bristling With Joints And Dishes And Spindly Antennae. Here And There A Whisper Of Accumulated Frost Clings To A Joint Or Seam, Some Frozen Wisp Of Gas Encountered In Jupiter Space Perhaps. Elsewhere I Carry The Microscopic Corpses Of Earthly Bacteria Who Thrived With Carefree Abandon On The Skins Of Space Stations Or The Benign Lunar Surface - But Who Had Gone To Crystal At Only Half My Present Distance From The Sun. Now, A Breath Away From Absolute Zero, They Might Shatter At A Photon's Touch.
