      Chapter One

      I entered an office in a Police Cruiser, one type of starship, and sat in front of a desk.

      Behind it, Captain Tesk, a human, frowned. Brin, we’re sending you to Space Station Fourteen, a town on the planet Wos, because two miners who work for Greod Mining vanished about a week ago.

      Tesk was the only member of the force who called me Brin. Everyone else addressed me as Michael.

      Tesk added, According to their supervisor, Nas, a team searched the Greod Mine, the fifteen mile road between it and Station Fourteen along with eight neighborhoods in Fourteen itself.

      A six-foot in diameter 3D hologram of a planet appeared above the desk. A section of the northern hemisphere enlarged, revealing a town inside a dome. Beneath the hologram, text scrolled indicating this was Fourteen.

      I scowled. How long has the search been going on?

      For the last fifty hours.

      Are any police helping them?

      Two are. After you arrive, one will resume his former duties.

      I nodded. Did any officers speak to the President of Greod about the missing miners?

      Yes. Officer Roun Ze did. By the way, the president’s name is Eyhan.

      A 3D hologram of Eyhan, an Aito woman with turquoise skin and sunken cheeks, appeared.

      I frowned. What did Eyhan say?

      She said we should talk to Nas because he knows a lot more about this than she does.

      Why are you sending me to a planet I’ve never been to before?

      You’re better at breaking through firewalls and solving complicated cases than anyone else on the force. I should mention that many Qio miners on Wos don’t like humans.

      I frowned. Who said they don’t like us?

      Roun did. She will meet you at the main Fourteen spaceport. I just emailed her resume into your phone.

      I nodded, curious about Roun. Are you going to send anyone else besides me?

      An officer named Jas So. She will land in Fourteen a few days after you arrive.

      The name isn’t familiar.

      She joined the Mpstation Four police force three years ago. I just emailed her resume into your phone. There is one more problem. Contact lens phones don’t work on Wos. You’ll have to use handheld models.

      Understood. I asked if he had Jas’ flight number. Tesk said he would send it soon. I left.

      I leaned back in my seat, one of many on this passenger spaceship, a Galactic Transporter, as it went into orbit around Wos.

      According to onscreen notes, Jas So, an officer with a background in IT, had arrested eight robbers, twenty-five space car thieves and four murderers. Eighty-one percent of the arrests ended in convictions. Fellow officers were impressed by her
