All was well -- until it wasn't. When the supply ship Skeld.218 experiences a sudden technical breakdown during a routine trip, followed by the sudden death of the captain, the crew is left stranded in the ether, scrambling to repair their vessel and discover the cause of the damage. As more members of the crew fall to violent deaths, they realize that one of their number is set on their destruction. As the stakes rise, will they be able to uncover the traitor before it's too late for them all?
Sydney Ave is on her first true voyage in space when it all goes wrong. Before this voyage, all nineteen and a half years of her life were spent in a martian colony city. Her family never had the money to travel to Earth for vacations or to visit their distant relatives, and Sydney signed on to a low paying shuttle job for a chance at seeing the other planets.
Kiralie Haze has been out of work since an accident four months ago, which left her plagued by painful headaches and sporadic memory loss. When Sydney, the friend she's loved since childhood, takes a job on a supply shuttle, she decides to reenter the workforce as a cremate alongside her. When the murders begin, Kiralie's health struggles make survival a more dangerous game than any could have predicted.
A product of late-night exhaustion. Will have regular updates (hopefully) until the end of the story.
