Them returning back doesn't seem to have been part of whoever's plan it is though, does it. Perhaps this is the only set that has returned because they met up with one of or the main enhanced quantal, who reacted with some thought, determination and a particular goal of asking those she thought responsible. Also had an idea of how to get into orbit, was pushed along by the intrusion of malevolent others forcing the trip, and assisted by a turn of events giving more of an ooomph than could otherwise reasonably be expected. If none of the other pairs (or singles) even met something like Alice (assuming there's even more around than Alice and Sedna (and Church) in the first place) or something killed them or who didn't know about orbiters potentially around or didn't care enough to want to find out what's going on. Then perhaps this is going to be the only return anyway.

Perhaps on pre-blink Earth spacefaring technology was unevenly distributed (scattered even) on the (habitable) surface of the planet, and Ardent & Gavia just happen to be the only pair within a few struthoweeks distance from an old rocket center?
OldGoat:
Does a similar phenomenon" mean activity on the surface or personalities who had gone missing reappearing in corporeal form? Since it doesn't appear that Cupressaceae was aware of what had become of Ardent until he arrived with Alice and company, I'm going with the latter.
It is indeed interesting that they should all turn up in a relatively short period of time. I'm wondering how the rest of the Away Teams made orbit?

Its not unreasonable to assume that the general idea was that the mission was supposed to involve Ardent staying on Earth a lot longer, maybe even indefinitely, and that his return to orbit wasn't part of the plan.
Seems to me, BTW, that the whole Church/Pate subplot was in no way essential to getting Ardent and Gavia back into orbit, since if Pate hadn't turned up then Alice would still have broken into the bunker and Ardent and Gavia would have been back in orbit on around the same timescale, although quite possibly not with Alice with them.

I got the impression that Cupress was aware that Ardent and Gavia had, uh, left the building (so to speak) but simply wasn't able to question them about it until they got back. And since they're the first ones back, and they only just got back, that implies that none of the others have returned yet, but the trees know they're gone.

Lariadia says, "Your are merely the first to return home." If there weren't more arriving, I'd expect her to say "only." That or Cupressaceae tipped its...leaves?...and knows more about the operation that it's letting on.
