Author: Stephen Baxter

Length: short story

First Publication: stephen-baxter.com, 2008

What the Story is About: The story is expanded from the account in Firstborn by Stephen Baxter and Arthur C. Clarke. An ancient entity from Mars heads to Earth.  A taste:

“She was more like a slime mould, perhaps, than a human. So she was never alone in that she was intimately connected to the tremendous networked communities of single-celled creatures which drenched her Mars. Nevertheless she was a pole of consciousness arising from those communities, and fully self-aware.”
