When Sarah, a space pilot, hears that her dear friend James has disappeared on a mission, she can’t just stand back and do nothing. She gears up to go to Erebus, a far-off planet, on her Riggs ship, a very fast ship. When she and her friends get ready for this journey, one can sense their excitement. Their conversations are down-to-earth, so to speak. The author is to be commended showing these relationships in such a short story.
There are problems. First, space pirates are out there. Then there’s the time differential to think about. Sarah is a single mother, and more time passes on earth for her son while she’s away, than for her, on her ship. Her introspection about her child is sad.

The tale ends with a footnote about the real science. It is interesting and helpful to know.
