SYNOPSIS:
A solitary spacecraft makes a landing on a seemingly baron asteroid.
The traveller is himself a machine, a private investigator. He pries
open an old hatchway to go below. Under the ice, tunnels descend deeper
and deeper into the dark.
Its a refuelling station, a halfway point for missions to the outer reaches
of the solar system. It was, until they shut it down. What happened here?
Pi, (the investigator) finds an inactive robot. He revives her. This is Kieru
the facility manager. Why did the company take so long to send an investigator?
It takes a bit of work to get it out of him but Pi admits theres trouble in othe
r facilities.
Pi is investigating the disappearance of thousands of dollars in company
property and the mysterious demise of one of the workers who goes by the name
of Faraday.
What really happened to Faraday?
Pi investigates this eccentric crew who cut out an existence for themselves in
the rocks and ice of the asteroid, always under the shadow of the company.
Doc and his crazy projects. Daisy, skittish and nervy. What is she so nervous
about? Grip is like a pair of disembodied arms joined at the shoulder, a good
natured beast. Cutter says little and works away cutting tunnels deeper and
deeper into the ice.
They all seem innocent enough but how safe is Pi alone with this motley crew
under the fractured and creaking ice of this far-flung asteroid?
