Ad Astra Noctis Postponement

 Because the last two weeks have been eventful, I haven't gotten a chance to finish the next part of Ad Astra Noctis. Sorry about that.  Not sure when it'll get done either.

Glenn stretched, finally free of starport customs with his luggage claimed.  He'd been told that interstellar travel was like the trams and trains back home on Cluster 1; an interminable wait but that it goes by quickly.  Since his new employers had paid for his passage, he'd taken the stellar gate from Cluster 1 to Finster, shaving months off his travel time.  Skipping across 114 light years and most of the sector in an instant was miraculous to him.  But the journey from there had been a month-long affair from Finster to Vivian to Bering.  The novelty of red-shifted and blue-shifted stars out the windows had vanished after the first week out towards Vivian; he'd pulled the window blind down after.
