2100. A mysterious ship, nicknamed the Chimera, appears in Martian airspace. It bears the symbol of the international space agency, the BASE, but there is no record of such a vessel. Word and rumour quickly spread. BASE investigator Leanne Ziegler is sent to inspect the ship and make contact with its crew. But the Chimera seems completely deserted, other than the imperious AI caretaker, Valkyrie. Down in the fledging Nerio colony on Mars, suspicion grows. The colonists are already turning against the ways of the BASE, creating their own Martian identity. This potential security threat could prove to be the final rift between Earth and Mars. Trying to keep control of the political situation, Nerio sends a mysterious and cold liaison, Ryan, to aid Leanne. But, in ten days, Mars will turn her guns on the Chimera. Leanne and Ryan must work quickly to discover the secret of the ship - and decide whether its fate under the Martian guns is deserved. [ONC 2024 entry]

In the furthest reaches of the Solar System, brave, if foolhardy, people search the Kuiper Belt for resources the inter-planetary colonies and stations desperately need to survive. It requires people with the strength to spend years away from home, or the desire to make enough to live a comfortable life. On her second rotation among the vastness of space, Samantha Porter finds herself and her crew-mates about to embark on a discovery that could shake the very foundations of belief and culture when they uncover something both wondrous and deadly. In a desperate fight for survival, Samantha must find reserves of courage she never knew existed in order to escape the clutches of an entity beyond imagining. A tense sci-fi thriller novella for ONC 2024, based upon Prompt 76 - "Cap? We need you on the bridge now. AI registers an extensive asteroid field and ... oh my god!".
