Out There YOU could die here. Repair shops and the law were a week away, translight. And the hazards of the Fringe arrived in the blink of an eye: a blocked air hose, a cracked panel, a visitor tempted by opportunity. Of course -- flip side of risk -- you could strike it rich. You could even live long enough to enjoy it. So you cared for your equipment -- and tried for crew that valued their own hides. The crew of the starship that nestled against the mid-sized asteroid, sharing its skewed orbit around sister stars, knew all this. They lay awake in their bunks, counting on their future, listening to the ship's mauler as it chewed into the metal-rich rock like the teeth of a lamprey into the body of a hapless fish. Few more weeks -- the ship's stomach would be full, and they'd all be rich. Counting on a future in the Fringe was dangerous. That asteroid night, Death came in along the ecliptic, undetected until it cracked the starship's hull and began to hunt. "Mayday... May--" The screams for nonexistent help ceased almost at once. The mauler didn't pause. It ground its way deeper, the rich ore tumbling into the holds, that growl the only sound echoing in the empty corridors. The corridors where Death searched, still hungry.
