It came up in the west on the fourteenth of March, and the first official statement described it as an atmospheric phenomenon, which was true in the way that a house fire is a chemical reaction. Amira Sadiq teaches astronomy at a school with one telescope and thirty-one students. She is not the best-equipped person looking at this. She is simply the first one to sit down with a pencil and work out what it cannot possibly be. What is left, when she has finished, has a date on it.
Who it follows
Amira Sadiq teaches astronomy at a school with one telescope, and is the first person on the continent to work out what the second sun is not.
What goes wrong
Nobody with authority wants her answer, because her answer arrives with a date attached to it.
What is at stake
The date is eleven months out.
What keeps it running
Each episode one more institution confirms her privately and contradicts her publicly.
What you take away
A fact with a deadline attached stops being a fact and becomes a political problem.
