As one kernel processed the images, she used another to confirm the time. It was 05:11 hours, making this her final round through her list for the night.  \nThe morning shift started at 06:00 hours. A human operations technician would take over, allowing her to move on to more complex tasks. Computations more suited to her processing powers were waiting for her attention. Normally, this time of day left her bored, but today would be different—they were expecting visitors.  \nIn the compartments for humans, illumination cycled to the lowest level. Over the next half-hour the lighting would slowly increase, creating a simulated dawn. However, few would notice as most colonists still slept, and would for a while yet. The colony’s lighting kept everyone’s circadian rhythms in tune since their adopted world experienced continuous sunlight punctuated with a week of darkness every five years—not ideal conditions for a human to get a proper night sleep.  \nAs she panned a camera through the garden at the centre of the residential quarter, she detected unexpected motion. Adjusting her sensors to their highest sensitivity, Peggy zoomed in.  \nA dark-haired woman with brown skin swayed side to side with each step she took. Cradled in her arms, an equally dark-haired baby slept. It was just Amanda walking her baby, George, now four months old. Most mornings either Amanda or her husband Neil did a few laps with the young  \nlad. A fitful sleeper, only the perpetual motion provided by his parents triggered him to nod off.  \nRelaxing her settings back to normal, Peggy observed the two for a moment. Amanda made soft sounds to her baby and Peggy shifted her focus away—the intimate moment between mother and child was private.  \nThe agreement she’d made with Lucas when he gave her free run of the colony was to respect the colonists’ privacy. Peggy didn’t want to break that promise. Besides she needed to complete her checklist—their expected visitors would arrive into the system soon.  \nPeggy performed step thirty-two and checked the integrity of all the colony’s airtight seals. After confirming each one continued to hold in breathable air, she shifted herself to the long-range visual sensors mounted on their constellation of satellites. It didn’t take long to find the one with the view she wanted. Her orbital vantage point didn’t look back down at Thesan, the third planet in the solar system. Instead, she focused away from their home, towards the centre.  \nShe took a moment to watch the storms swirling across the surface of the cold Neptune in the next orbit next to the suns before continuing her visual journey towards the centre of the system. The innermost planet with an atmosphere, Nak, was currently on the other side of their twin suns, so she couldn’t see its solid yellow clouds, no big loss in her mind.  \nAt the centre, two suns danced around each other as they always did.
