They manage to find the remains of a ship with several Gentian members still alive, and rescue them and the four enemy prisoners they had captured. Hesperus, however, is gravely injured in the process by remaining ambushers. The group escapes and make their way to the Gentian backup meeting planet, Neume, in the hope of re-grouping with any other Gentians who may have survived the ambush. Each subsequent chapter is narrated from the first-person perspective of two shatterlings named Campion and Purslane, alternating between them each chapter. Campion and Purslane are in a relationship, which is frowned upon, even punishable, by the Line.

With stasis failing, Hesperus decides to protect Purslane by remodeling himself into a stasis equipped landing pod, sacrificing his personality and memories in the process. Campion is then shown Hesperus, who still contains the still-living Purslane, and the First Machine offers to help him free her before departing. While it took some time, Colin has been back on a bounce house since the incident. While such incidents are rare, they want people to be aware of the disastrous possibility of what could happen.
Record deals and tax-avoidance maneuvers: Southern California’s priciest sales of 2023
My story, “Thousandth Night”, dealt with a group of cloned immortal star travellers, and featured the large scale reengineering of the entire Milky Way as one of its plot points. The primary storyline begins as Campion and Purslane are roughly fifty years late to the 32nd Gentian reunion. They take a detour to contact a posthuman known as ‘Ateshga’ in hopes of getting a replacement ship for Campion because his is getting old (several million years old). After being tricked by Ateshga, Campion and Purslane manage to turn the tables on him and leave his planet with a being he had been keeping captive, a golden robot called Hesperus. Hesperus is a member of the "Machine People", an advanced civilization of robots, and supposedly the only non-human sentient society in existence.
LeBron, Mahomes, more react to Maxey's wild shot
They scored just 15 points and made just 26.9% of their shots in the final 12 minutes, including 7.1% (one for 14) from three. Boston got an opportunity to play more, and he did his thing with a season-high 23 points. The game gave Lue a chance to get an extended look at Hyland, who cooked the Suns with a career-high 37 points on 15-for-29 shooting in 43 minutes.

They exploded to a 35-4 advantage on the Suns in that third win without James Harden and Leonard in Phoenix’s final home game of the regular season. Durant called Vogel the team leader after Saturday’s practice. The Suns could run it back with Jones and Vogel to continue continuity with roster decision making knowing that won’t satisfy a fan base that expected much more from this team this season. The second timeline is set six million years in the future, and centers on the meeting of the Gentian Line after a galactic circuit. There is a grand family reunion planned, but before arriving at it, two shatterlings named Campion and Purslane discover that an ambush by unknown assailants has wiped out most of their Line.
LeBron James faces a summer of big decisions after the Lakers were sent packing
“I’m not a participation guy,” LeBron said Monday night when asked if hanging with the defending champions instilled more confidence in the Lakers for next season. But participating is really all he’s done since 2020, and in the meantime, LeBron and his agency, Klutch Sports, know they’ve lost influence in the Lakers front office. If they hadn’t, more draft picks would’ve been moved over the past two trade deadlines, and Ham would’ve been ousted midseason in favor of LeBron’s guy on the staff, assistant coach Phil Handy. But on the other hand, despite how closely the Lakers played the Nuggets for five games, it was the same story as last season with countless second-half blown leads and an inability to slow down Denver’s offense. Since winning the title in 2020, the Lakers have missed the playoffs once, have suffered a pair of first-round exits, and have been swept in the conference finals. Not only have the Nuggets won 12 of their past 13 matchups, the Lakers have also been surpassed by veteran-laden teams in the West like the Minnesota Timberwolves and up-and-comers like the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Lakers eliminated from playoffs after loss to Denver Nuggets in Game 5
The nuclear option for most teams in Phoenix's situation is a true blow up. Doing so when you don't control your own picks, as Phoenix won't for the rest of the decade, is an incredibly scary proposition. Sure, the Suns could get picks back for Durant and Booker... But those teams would have Durant and Booker, which would probably prevent the picks they send back from becoming all that valuable. Kelly Oubre and Derrick Jones Jr. stand out from 2023 free agency.
Losing LeBron would give the Lakers the freedom to shop Davis following one of the greatest seasons of his career. AD was a legitimate Defensive Player of the Year candidate, dominated in the post, and delivered an All-Star season while missing only six games. Would a team with a top pick such as the Charlotte Hornets, Detroit Pistons, or Toronto Raptors be willing to move their 2024 first plus future assets for AD? Maybe having a dominant defender to pair with talented young players would have greater appeal than the mystery box prospects in this draft class. Or perhaps a Finals hopeful with trade assets such as the Miami Heat or Sacramento Kings would look to cash in assets, viewing AD as the final piece of the puzzle. A haul for Davis would position the Lakers to build a younger roster with cap flexibility and assets to pursue stars—Luka, anyone?
The Latest
Getting even more creative, I’m fascinated by the idea of LeBron playing in San Antonio for Gregg Popovich as the point guard to help Victor Wembanyama contend immediately. But San Antonio would need to make other big moves, unlike the Dallas Mavericks, who my boss Bill Simmons has long speculated that LeBron could have eyes for to pair up with Luka and old friend Kyrie Irving. Today, you could argue that one-third of the league is as all-in as the Suns are.
That series starts in Denver, where the Nuggets are a Western Conference-best 36-8, including 3-0 in the playoffs. Nikola Jokic, who committed an uncharacteristic seven turnovers, narrowly missed his 19th career playoff triple-double with 25 points, 20 rebounds and nine assists and Michael Porter Jr. scored 26. So, with this injury of inflammation and swelling in Leonard’s knee, Frank was asked about the team’s confidence that it’s not more serious.
The three reach the reunion site 50 years late, only to learn that the Flowers have been ambushed and all but wiped out. Campion and Hesperus rescue a handful of Gentians—50 out of a surviving 900-odd. Believe it or not, the Andromeda Galaxy is a major plot issue. The Lakers front office has instead maintained flexibility for the future. Entering this offseason, the Lakers can trade three future firsts (2024 or 2025, 2029, and 2031), three first-round swaps (2026, 2028, and 2030), and five second-round picks.
Phoenix will have presumably late first-round picks (due not to their success but their incessant swapping) in even-numbered years moving forward, including No. 20 in this year's weak class. Their only real avenue to adding talent will be minimum contracts. If that were a reliable way to build a supporting cast, well, the Suns wouldn't be in this mess.
