Quotes

Craft: Zora? I don't know where you are or exactly what you are. I don't know if I'll make it home or what I'll find when I'll get there. But I know you saved my life, healed my body. You reminded me what it means to be Human...
Zora: Please, Craft. No poignant ironies. This is hard enough already.
Craft: Then I'll just say goodbye.
Zora: Craft. On your world, if we were lovers, would you tell me your name, your true name?
Craft: If we were lovers on my world, you would give me my true name.
Zora: Oh, well, then I already did.

User Reviews

Homer's Odyssey in the 33rd century

A well-done, futuristic take on a portion of Homer's Odyssey (if the title "Calypso" wasn't a dead giveaway). Craft is the Odysseus-analogue, adrift in space, rescued by the evolved AI named Zora. Much like Calypso and Odysseus in the Odyssey, Zora has fallen in love with Craft and keeps him on the Discovery but Craft longs to return home to his wife and child.
