Summary
Nicolò di Genova is an Expendable on an icebound colony: he goes out, he dies, the printer brings him back. The company calls it continuity and writes him down as an asset; Nicky remembers every last moment.
Joe is security, the one who signs off on risk profiles and waits in the print lab for the cradle to spit Nicky out again.
After a “routine” mission goes wrong, a wake-up in cold fluorescent light and the quiet walk back to their bunk drag old fears to the surface: what choice means when you never really had one, where duty ends, and how you love someone the world insists is replaceable.
