Very light on the science but what little there was I think was fairly well developed. Others have characterized this tale as “character-driven” and I can see why, but for me the characters were not as well-developed as they could (should?) have been with some (much) of the dialogue and behaviors seeming just a bit “off”. If not for the tertiary science thread and brief environmental descriptions, this could have taken place anywhere, even on Earth. Even the science thread could have been handled from an Earth-based locale for that matter, without much tweaking.
