Selene is a "non-essential" crew member on a generational spaceship that classifies artists as insane. She and her fellow non-essential artists are given a rather unique assignment: create art they find beautiful, with no angle of making it essential for life on board the ship. As they hone their art skills, Selene teams up with a troubled sculptor and learns just how dangerous art--and being non-essential--can be. This novella takes place on the spaceship Godspeed and deals with characters seen in the Across the Universe series. You can read it without reading the novels, although it might be more fitting to read it after A Million Suns.

"So... how do you like your coffee?" I ask, reaching for the cupboard to get a mug for him. "I can make a mocha, a cappuccino, a latte, a double shot, a triple shot--" "I don't drink coffee," he replies, looking at my coffee with distaste. "Caffeine makes people obnoxious, and it tastes nasty anyway." "Are you serious?" I ask, trying to fathom how someone couldn't like coffee, at least some type of it. "How can you not at least like a half shot with creamer and whipped cream and sugar and caramel?" "Like I said," he says, taking a glass from the cupboard and pouring his orange juice into it from the fridge, "it makes people obnoxious and loud. It's annoying. If I need something to wake me up, I have some simple carbohydrates and then complex ones to give me a long energy boost without a crash." I just stand there for a second, trying to understand what he said. I give up after a while of thinking, trying to fathom how someone would rather have juice and toast instead of a triple-shot espresso with caramel creamer or an iced macchiato or at least just a plain old cup of coffee in the morning.

Meanwhile, Jess' older brother and Gavin's older sister are getting cozy, and the entire family is pushing for them to be together, making it worse yet.

Renee Griffin is gorgeous, loveable, undeniably popular, and has an uncanny ability of getting everything she wants. She is a cunning seductress, a loving daughter, a prima donna, and a cold-blooded murderer. This is not a story for the faint hearted. This is the story of a 21st Century psychopath. "'You've killed,' he breathed. His eyes had grown big, so big that they barely fit his face anymore. He didn't resemble Nathan at all. He was pathetic, and cowardly, and weak. 'I have.' Silence and darkness threatened to crush us both, the sound of his uneven breathing piercing through my eardrums. I didn't bother hiding anything in my demeanour - it was a relief to let the darkness out, to let it slip out of every pore and every cell. He was going to die. His next words were quiet, so quiet, that it could have been drowned out with the faint sound of cheers coming from the stadium. 'You're a monster.'"
