Lisa liked a quiet, straightforward life in the space station at Terpsichore. Used to handling drunks and other minor skirmishes, she is not expecting any surprises.

Engineer Marius and his people are doing a roaring trade in satellite repair and reclamation from their base in Earth Orbit. But then an emergency call comes in.
