The Kendai Relay Station. Built on the edges of civilization, it's main purpose is the reestablishment of contact with frontier worlds, known simply as the Verge.November 2, 2495
Alex lay back on his bunk, sliding into the webbing that kept his body attached to the bedding. It had been a tiring day, ferrying messages back and forth between the incoming ships. Bah! Reduced to being a mailboy for the Verge! How insulting! Only a few weeks ago Alex had been running escort duty, piloting real ships through the darkness of space with the help of his Artifial Intelligence, Cal. She was a real sweetie, acting as his eyes and ears for the past seventeen years of his life. Blind since birth, he appreciated all the help he could get and Cal filled that role nicely.

Confusion snapped through his mind for a moment before he brought himself under control. The soft, comforting voice of Cal spoke to him from the memory harness hanging above his head. He strapped her over his shoulder as she continued to murmur. "... all lights are out. Gravity lost. To your left..." He shook his head.
His troubles had only begun...
