	The discuss what will be necessary to refurbish the building and getting it ready for operations. Then they also look into fixing up a local house for he and Lem. Over the next few days they put this plan in motion: cleaning repairing, rewiring etc... They take possession of a pretty, though dilapidated house perched on the cliff and set to work fixing it as well. They introduce Lem to Muleskinner, and the boy takes quickly to ~~the ship~~ helping out the double amputee with his work. Lem seems to settle in. The crew has set up Christian and Lem with a large home suitable for both home life and business. Arden writes up a prescription for Lem. They've restored the original ''Fairweather Flyers'' building. Christian assured them that he is fine and ready to start working. So with his blessing they prepare the ship for lift off. Once alone Christian watches Joshua taking his place, and watches the crew return to their duties and the life that he has known for over a year. All his training to control of his emotions is used to keep a brave face. As much as he thinks he is doing the right thing, part of him will be left on the Summer's Gift.

	During the stay Arden discovers, by rooting through the incomplete brain scan data, that there is no sign of advancement in Lem's Prion disease. Also there is evidence that the existing prion disease has been reduced. It appears that he should, in time, make a reasonable recovery, although it isn't clear whether there is any permanent damage. He may need to stay on his anti-prion drugs for the rest of his life, but as this is a new treatment for a new disease, no one really knows.

	The more promising medical news is that the tests done on the samples of protein paste. The generic protein paste appears to be normal. But the sample run through the ProMagic texturizer shows evidence of prions. The ProMagic ~~which~~ works by altering the raw proteins (derived from algae, fungus and other sources) to transform the texture from a firm tofu-like texture to anything from creamy ice cream, to juicy steak and everything in between. Somehow in the process one in a million of those proteins is transformed into a Prion, and that is enough.. This seems to validate Arden's hypothesis of the origin of Prion Disease. And this information, the epidemic could be stopped in its tracks (as soon as people learn to stop using the ProMagic).

	Arden sends this data to the Dr. Lawrence back on St. Albans, and spends some time writing up an article for the medical journals. Although because of the distance it will be some time before he hears back.

	They find Emma and Hilde have occupied a house and repaired it to its former glory. They appear together and reasonably happy. They work a variety of jobs, and do their best to make a living. They have changed almost beyond recognition. Without the pampering make-up, cleansers, and humidity of their Core worlds, their skin and hair are natural and weathered.

	Days pass and the crew enjoys some pleasant relaxing time down. Rina does the maintenance, they do their part to help the local economy. Rick finishes Jake's retrospective collection. He had quite a bit of footage of the crew. He seemed to have an exceptional grasp of the individual crew's personalities. It is bittersweet and poignant. There are a sparse handful of shots (mostly stills) of Jake setting up shots or doing light checks. It was a fitting tribute to the crew's lost crewman. They agree to send a wave to his family of his fate and asking what they'd like to do with the body.		Days pass and the crew enjoys some pleasant relaxing time down.

Arden concludes that it is a NewTech tool called a Sonic Caelum (or sonic sculptor), basically a high tech plastic surgery tool. It is a "non-invasive" surgery tool.
