Old satellites are becoming a problem. Space junk that needs to be removed. Luckily there are professional cleaners. These satellite sweepers are scavengers trading all they can find. However, sometimes they find things that shouldn't be found.
Inspiration:
This is one of those stories which needed time to develop. The idea was there in a second, writing it down took me considerably more time. However, I did 'write' about it back in 2015. A short blog revealing some of the things that ended up in this short SF story.
Some of the names used in this short story will be clear once you've read the blog. The name of the ship is explained in the story itself. Well now, have a look at the old stuff: Skredch blog (2015): The new frontier.
List of characters
Characters alphabetical by last name. Nicknames and characters only known by their first name or their last name, are given underneath this list. Unnamed characters are not listed!
