Bay Five
Humanity found out the rest of the galaxy was already busy. Now a human doctor who's never left Earth is learning that reading about alien biology and actually practising medicine across it — light-years from home, on a station of twenty thousand — are not the same thing at all.

- 01 Arrival She understands every word. The monitoring display says the patient is dying. The patient is fine.
- 02 Contact Her first alien patient. The words translate perfectly. The rest of the clinical picture doesn't.
- 03 Pharmacy The diagnosis is correct. The treatment is toxic to this species. The alternative is slower, messier, and the pharmacologist's problem.
- 04 Settling A bad day for someone whose biology is still deciding what it is. The team treats one of their own.
- 05 Edge Case The symptoms are real. The cause isn't biological. The treatment the patient needs is something the facility can't prescribe.
- 06 Approximation A patient from a species the facility knows just enough about to be careful. The pharmacologist knows what the body can handle. Someone else knows what the person can.
- 07 Cascade A gate goes down for maintenance. Routine. But the supply chain was already compensating, and everything that was almost fine stops being fine at once.
- 08 Compression Two doctors disagree about a patient. One has information the other can't perceive. Neither can show the other what they're seeing.
- 09 Limit They do everything right.
- 10 Still Here A case from the past returns worse than before. The diagnosis was incomplete. Solving it requires everything she's learned.
