Out of Place: Season Two
Rhiannon Moushall for Shereen
An elderly Australian woman.
Warm, wise and personable. Shereen exists in a parallel timeline in which it's possible to upload a human conscience to the cloud, suffering from a terminal illness, and elected to be euthanized in place of her digital double. This leads to the UN establishing a law that to be digitally cloned, one's body must be euthanized.
Warm, hospitable, peaceful.
Hello, Earth. This is Shereen Gibson, currently passing across the orbit of Pluto on the Consciousness Ark Ascension. Soon we will be beyond communications range, so this will be the last time I can talk to you. I will miss your world, but I will not mourn it. Our world is far from perfect, but it is ours, a place that we have made for ourselves so completely different from the one I once knew that I cannot describe it. And while I also look back with fondness on the life I once had, I am also blessed that I now live free of disease and ageing. If we avoid the statistically tiny chance of encountering danger in interstellar space, we even live free of death.
