Gordon Pruett is transformed by the Monolith into a new seed. He traverses the galaxy until alighting upon a planet where civilization has destroyed itself. He observes a young couple attacked by a group of looters and killed. The new seed takes part of the essence of these two and transports it to a new planet far distant to drop it off into the as-yet unliving oceans to begin the cycle of life anew.
