Summary
Life among the heavens is pretty much like it was on Earth. Alan Maxwell works, he socializes, he sleeps. It's all a steady cycle that suits him just fine.
His job certifying the people who go out and explore the galaxy for competency is fulfilling. So what if it's not the one he wanted. You can't have everything in life. At least, not if you're one of the 2%, the Nulls.
He learned a long time ago to accept what he could get and be ungrateful. His time would come, one day, then he would be the one out there among the stars. The universe would be waiting for him with open arms.
Until then, he gets to make sure the rest of humanity is safe from the crackpots and ignorant people that could ruin it for the rest of them by doing something stupid and getting everyone else killed. At least, that's what he tells himself.
