A place for every tool
Patch finishes arranging the new workshop, then makes an extra station for visiting human engineers.
A shared workbench
The community becomes a place to exchange projects, compare notes, and work through a difficult step.
Made together
A route home is a large problem. Patch prefers to begin with the next useful thing the crew can learn together.
ONE SHARED MISSION
Learn here. Build together. Find the way home.
The family is searching for a source to power LUMEN's return journey. While that mystery unfolds, TEP is where they share engineering, welcome new ideas, and make their unexpected stay matter.
About those 2,198 Krillion light years…
Krillion belongs to the TEP story, not to a scientific unit table. Orin promises to explain the conversion after the next experiment. He has been saying that for a while.
