Perelandra Class Three: The Transformation of Weston

About this episode

Weston undergoes a transformation in his beliefs and purpose after traveling to Perelandra, raising concerns for Ransom.

Weston travels to Perelandra in a newly built spaceship and proves adept at speaking Old Solar. He then apologizes to Ransom for his former behavior, explaining that he has discarded his previous materialist expansionism of the human race to the planets with its attendant liquidation of their native species. Weston explains that he now serves a new master, guided by something he calls Spirit, a force that drives us toward and ultimately fulfills us in a new human disembodied destiny! Ransom becomes increasingly concerned.
