Considering her half Lanthanite heritage with a long lifespan, I was left wondering why Ake also didn’t stay to raise Sam in the time dilated planet. They never address it, but I suppose it’s just unspokenly weird to suggest to co-parent a child with your subordinate coworker.

I suppose that it would be sensible to keep someone with the shuttle Just In Case, though, and the Doc would certainly be more welcome on Kasq.
