In the episode, he only interacts with Greta. This is the Spot the Thread recognized in the short story, as opposed to a slip-up by Greta. In the short story, Thom meets other people in the "station" during his stay, all of which turn out to be people he has met before in his life, although briefly.The episode doesn't mention Thom's wife.He was told to do the re-calibration by Thom as busy-work due to them being delayed in the queue for the FTL technology, but a sudden opening in the queue lead to Thom making the doomed call to abort the re-calibration, leaving things in a worse state than before. note It is implied to happen due to Ray starting, and then aborting, a navigation re-calibration. The details of the FTL network and what could have caused the navigation error isn't explained in the episode.The FTL network ends at the Aquila Rift it is as far as humanity can travel. note The Aquila Rift is a wall of space dust just outside the "Local Bubble," the remnant of a million-year-old supernovae that left the area around Earth mostly dust-free. Adaptation Explanation Extrication: Alastair Reynolds' short story explains that the Aquila Rift is as far as ships can get, so being beyond it means they are where no one has gone before.Adaptational Alternate Ending: The ending is slightly different from that of the short story - "Greta" takes on the appearance of Katerina, Thom's wife, and it is implied that this is a "happy ending" that Greta had to force upon him as he could not handle the reality of his situation and went mad.Based on the short story of the same name by Alastair Reynolds. Henry Douthwaite voices Thom and Madeleine Knight voices Greta. Thom attempts to come to terms with being stuck in a station lightyears away from his crew's charted course. I care for all the lost souls that end up here."
