Summary
The first time Mick calls after Juno leaves Mars, Juno is alone in the Carte Blanche’s kitchen, drinking coffee at 2210, ship time.
“Hey, you haven’t talked to Sasha lately or anything, have you?”
“No?” Juno snorts. “Just ‘cause I’m off Mars doesn’t mean I’m gonna run into Sasha next second, Mick.”
(Mick, Sasha, Juno, and a few lifetimes of friendship.)

Summary
Is it a breakout? Goodness, Buddy certainly hopes so. This is the most excitement she’s had in at least a month. Her blaster slips into her hand almost on instinct, and she swings around the corner just in time to see the blade sink into the lower warden’s neck.
The woman holding it has shocking green hair that stands out like a satellite, and eyes as sharp and deadly as the knife in her hand.
Buddy’s breath catches in her throat.
(Vespa, the first time I ever saw you was the most exciting day of my life.)

Summary
They met in the center. Buddy’s hand was warm and the look in her eye was quietly thrilled. “You’re here,” she said nonsensically, still smiling that giddy smile.
Vespa wondered sometimes if that wasn’t still half a question. If it was, that was fine; she would be there to give the answer for the rest of her life.
“I’m here,” she answered.

Summary
The woman’s fingers curl around the blaster in his hand. Perhaps it is an amount of trust he cannot explain, or a faith he did not know he was still capable of, or simply his body giving up on him—but Jet’s grip loosens.
The gun does not have a stun setting. She removes the laser cart instead, then holsters it. Her eyes stay on him, wary, but something in her face has softened. Into the sudden silence she speaks the words that he will remember for the rest of his life.
In the dim light of the first floor of the Lighthouse, Jet Sikuliaq reinvents himself.
(Jet, Buddy, and the trust that grows from endless time.)

Summary
Sometimes, Anna wakes up and still feels the gray licking at the corners of her vision.
Mabel clings close on those days, without her even having to say a word. She does not ask questions, only follows her like a shadow, hands hovering until Anna pulls her close.
Mabel does not ask questions, but Anna answers them all the same.

—and nearly chokes as she spots a head of familiar fiery hair in the crowd.

Summary
Buddy and Jet had very well-thought-out plans. Last week, they were a family of two, scoping out a potential ally, and in line to recieve the ten thousand creds they needed to proceed with the next stage of their plans. Then Juno walks into the Martian desert, Vespa walks back into Buddy's life, Rasbach walks out with their ten thousand creds, and all they have to their name is a hovercycle, an old bar with radiation leaks in the ceiling, and a lot of catching up to do.

I didn't do it right
