Mars has been colonized and laborers are needed in orbit to work the rocks brought over from the belt. The station is called the rock and the laborers all have one goal, which is to get to the ice. Ice is the gold of the day and the company pays a bonus to the shift that hits ice first. Adam Abara is one of the laborers on the rock and, like the others, is not his real name. The rock is not a place for those that use real names and speak of real pasts. It's a place to hide from their enemies on Earth.
