Some short stories don't feel short for the best reasons, and this is one of those for me

This was genuinely so interesting. At first I was just like, “wow! space whaling? Sound interesting” and then the intricacies of theridas and the resources they provide and how contact with one will literally transform a person INTO one...yeah. Illegally turning oneself into the AI of a spaceship so you can protect the love of your life who is now a big radioactive space whale until science can get him turned back into a human? That’s a story. Wow.
