Comment from Wayne Fowler

Excellent

Well done.
dysprosium - Those damn Chinese, anyway! Very clever that dysprosium is found in xeno'time'.
I think I would have expected Abby and Kenny to have wanted to meet in person someone who occupied their minds.
Best wishes.

Thanks very much, Wayne.

I tried to set this chapter aside from the rest--an interlude, so to speak--so that I could represent different points of view as distinct from just Kevin's who is the first person narrator of Part 4. Did you find this jarring or did it seem natural enough as a literary mechanism? This will end up being the only time I do that in the story.

I remain unjarred.
Lately, I've read 3-4 novels with divergent POVs. Seems like the norm is changing.

Good. Yeah, it doesn't seem to be that unusual these days.
