Ejoq and a shipmate sneak aboard the Barlow highdock, looking for their missing companions. But between terrified new friends, and some deadly new enemies, they may not survive long enough to find anything!

Ejoq dons his spacesuit to do a little recon. Can he find Grizzelda's missing people without getting shot? Can he even make it to the station without getting lost?!

There's trouble aboard ship, and trouble on-station -- while some of Grizzelda's own go missing! With blood on the deck, and hatred in the air, Ejoq makes a dangerous decision!

A moment of levity aboard ship does little to help Ejoq's sense of isolation. Everyone is happy, and everyone loves everyone. Right? Right.

Life aboard the ship is growing complicated, while the planet Barlow looks like a powder keg with a burning fuse. Is even the orbiting highdock safe?

The planet Barlow looms, and things are looking sketchy there -- but is the real danger outside the ship...or inside?

Ejoq is making progress with Gunnery, but not everyone seems pleased...while the ship reveals itself to have a very expensive problem!

Ejoq works hard to pull Gunnery online -- but maybe he should work harder making friends!

Ejoq meets the passengers and crew, and learns a few surprising details about Grizzelda's past!

Ejoq has an interview, and gets hired aboard the tramp freighter, Grizzelda, as a replacement gunner. It's just a milk-run to the planet Barlow...so why is everyone so upset?
