The Transjovian Council ♃
This is “The Transjovian Council”, a group of people living in the outer reaches of our system, beyond Jupiter. Out here, the light of the sun is dim and we must make due with what we have, watched over by the stern gods of the soil, of the sky, of the sea, of the underworld: Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto… Here we are, in our ice mines, gene labs, in our generation habitats, and all we have is text over low bandwidth connections, with long delays. And yet! And yet, a council has formed: we take council with each other. We deliberate. As Thucydides had Pericles say in his funeral oration, thousands of years ago: “instead of looking on discussion as a stumbling-block in the way of action, we think it an indispensable preliminary to any wise action at all.”
