Rendering of Zethera, a planet with temperatures of 30-34 Celsius and 1.2 gravity. #DeepOrbit #HardSF #TechnoThriller

Take it from me—you can’t pay debts wearing ankle monitor. What’s my alternative? A death march to the Outer Belt. I promised Maddy I’d come home from Zethera.

Thin profits, even thinner air.
