The first deliberate first-contact mission. The Persistent Error (yes) is sent to a junction whose far side has been used for at least twenty years by something organised, durable and patient. The contact, when it comes, isn't in any language. And then the hard part starts, when the ship comes home.

- Contact with no language. Did I give you enough to hold onto?
- The homecoming half. For some readers it's the best part, for some it's the anticlimax. Which are you?
- If you've read the whole Drift: does it feel like one story?
