## Description

A slice-of-life anecdote centred on Xavier's friendship with Ulysses — an astrophysics professor at Prestara University — and Ulysses's grandson Frank. The relationship is warm and unhurried, a quiet piece of Xavier's accumulated human connections in Linkon. Ulysses later becomes significant plot infrastructure: in the 'Voyage of the Outcast' Special Operations branch, his access credentials for the RMFMA (a sensor device) become central to Soren's scheme at Prestara University.
