Plot synopsis
In October of 2558, The, a mixed cargo hauler ferrying a platoon of marines and a group of construction workers, is abruptly dropped out of slipstream space when its systems are impeded in the wake of the Created's galactic subjugation. Stuck onboard the ship in zero gravity, Lieutenant Commander and engineer Elaine Coffey, Lieutenant Rasul, and Major Kell Tanris try to make sense of the perceived cyber attack and attempt to contact the vessel's commanding officer, Yance. Worried that potential hostile forces could board the ship to acquire their nuclear ordnance, Tanris arms herself and asks Coffey to lead them to the Commander's location. Arriving at the Commander's private quarters, Coffey and the troops discover Commander Yance had drowned bathing in his jet shower while the water was unable to drain in the zero-g environment. Assuming the chain of command, Coffey advises everyone to work together with Rasul and Kalanga's construction crew to help power any vital systems while they attempt to hold out being stranded adrift in space. Although Major Tanris and Sergeant Chan dislike the idea of waiting out and would instead prefer to plan defensive measures for their cargo, they put aside their reservations and cooperate with Coffey's orders.
