They’d seen to her in one of the clinics near the shuttle hub, under a full complement of armed freeholders. Mended up her broken and bruised wrists in freshly printed casts. Taken her knives, for what good that would do them. But she had not a
Suspicion, a cautious distrust. If anyone knows how to foster suspicion, it’s Alistair Hounsdstooth. In this business, cautious distrust is what gets you in the door. Their expectation for you to overperform, overdeliver. Everybody loves an und
The crew save for Chief O’Donnell and Doctor Peryton had offloaded from the Vehement for shore leave on the Freeholds. With Bete, Otto, and Scarlett gone as well, Ambrose was finally beginning to enjoy his time alone.He had just capped off a lo
The Jovian military wouldn’t make any moves without solid information to go on, of that Virgo was certain. They wouldn’t waste resources to recover an asset as vital to Aspirant Kennet’s grand design as Doctor Xade without proper intel. They ne
Two years. Two years since Trilly had dared to set down on Miranda. When she was a little girl, running errands for the Vory on Titan, she’d heard the rumors about this place even then. She’d come up substantially in the trade since, but the ru
From the moment he was brought back online aboard the C.C.V. Shining Sky Rigel had known something had gone wrong. The whole trip home he had worried that he was to blame. Now back on Miranda he was sure of it.Doctor Xade had been confined to t
Vettel had drawn sentry duty again. He always hated guard details. He would just end up standing there for four hours, boring himself half to death. At least the rotating patrols got to move around a little. Got to pilot an anchor, like he’d si
There was this saying in the old world, a long time ago: “the guilty always return to the scene of the crime” they said.For folks like me, who do the illegal well and do it often, we’ve taken this old adage and made our own use of it. In a back
After the dust up with that ship of freelancers and that Gentryman from the Union, Commandant Carcanet was happy to turn his attention to more important matters. The expeditionaries from Charon would be returning soon, and the data they had tra
They left us here to die, way back when.The Solar Union. The moons that would become the Commonwealth.In the beginning they’d taken anyone, the destitute, the hungry, the desperate. Anyone willing to sign their life away, contract themselves to
Linwood was getting on in years, surely. He had seen generations of folks come and go from the Freeholds in his time as a Dockmaster. Whether they came in from the Venusian plains, or the atolls of Ganymede, or were born and raised in the Freeh
Miranda, the fog-shrouded moon of Uranus, in the heart of the Jovian Lunar Commonwealth. A strange and enigmatic planetoid where, it is said, the machinations of the Commonwealth’s war machine are brought to life.Since the outset of the First J
Just outside of Jupiter’s gravitational pull, beyond the boundaries of Europa, Ganymede, Callista, and Io sits a massive ship graveyard. A vast field of decommissioned and destroyed debris placed there specifically as to not be an eyesore upon
In the face of Cydonia’s looming destruction the old worries of Weldon Woldt seemed far away and altogether insignificant. Money, work, comfort, all that mattered now was that next, forward step. Never quite escaping the shadow of the Amano cap
The bridge of the Vehement was preternaturally calm, given the circumstances. Ambrose Belgard, on the other hand, was not. He sat alone on the quiet, dark bridge, slumped in his chair staring out onto the bright red sphere of Mars below him. Th
