Suffer the Children

This is a story from the second wave of ships to arrive at Tau-Ceti 2, eleven lightyears from earth. This wave was largely made up of children, human embryos, animal embryos, robotic factories, and replacement parts. This story recounts the struggle one group faced at the end of their journey from Earth. Faced with the failure of technology and the puzzle of unexpected death, the young colonists must find a way to survive and protect their helpless charges.
