Baby's First Steps (Ending)
In this final part, Baby's audacious plan is revealed. But will Dominic get back to Earth?
The ISS is oscillating, gently but constantly. I am tethered in the Soyuz descent module. It's docked at the far end of the Russian Zvezda module, mothballed and neglected. For decades since the 1960s, these old Russian ships had been our Crew Return Vehicles – our lifeboats – until SpaceX's Dragon programme superceded them.

Baby's First Steps (Part 5)
Baby was never a baby. When he first came online, in the labs at Delta Dynamics, his brain was fully operational. Not fully educated, but he could follow complex instructions, communicate clearly and pragmatically, and perform sustained logical and spatial reasoning – all flawlessly.
