The new chapters have been sent to the Moderators for posting.
This week's chapters open with Marianne and Will meeting the CSM Weight Lifting Team. The team is impressed with her ability to lift weights. Later that day, there is a near accident that Mare prevents.
We next see Mare and Will at Thanksgiving. They have little to do and are bored. Following exams in December, there is Christmas, New years, and the semester break. They are approached by the rock miners about working at the space port over the holiday.
The next day at the space port they meet Mr. Przbyiski (Ski), the head of the cargo section, who hires them as seasonal workers. Mare finds that some of the equipment has been sabotaged and reports it to Ski. Later Internal Security arrives, and she demonstrates what was done.
Mare has finished the repairs, when another tractor breaks down. She, Ski, and a supervisor go out to collect it. Mare releases the stuck trailer connector.
The following day, they take Nick with them to get a job in the cargo section. That afternoon Nick and Mare are threatened by the union workers. The two of them have no trouble dealing with them. They all continue to work through Sunday, the 7th of January before starting school again on the 8th.
Several months later, Mare discovers a large deposit in her student account from the company for unmasking the plot to steal parts. She and Will go out to dinner.
I hope you enjoy these chapters. More next week with additional adventures.
Keep Well,
