She was born stunted. A runt. From her snub-nosed bridge to her chubby rear thrusters. An ugly child, spat from the womb of a Martian shipyard generations ago. Now charred and pitted with craters, the scars on her battered titanium skin tell a hundred stories. This is one of them.
What if Adam and Eve were real? And had been cast from the earth for their sins, Adam preserved for all time on Neptune's icy moon, Triton. Eve buried under the dead sands of Mars.
Their discovery would shatter every religion on earth, in a cataclysm of revelation. It would even have the atheists mumbling "Oh shit!"
Would the reunification of the first two humans spell the dawn of a new era for mankind, or would it bring about the apocalypse?
The crew of the pirate ship Vagabond couldn't care less either way. When they score the contract to bring a mysterious pod back from Triton, the pay day will be a decent one. But then they discover just what's inside the pod and realize they've finally made it to the big time, baby.
Can humanity trust our fate to Brenda, a drunken hard-ass bitch of a captain, and Rat, her weaselly perverted engineer, plus Katomi, the sweet talking murderous comms officer. All three with less morals than pond scum? Or course not.
Welcome aboard the Vagabond. You might want to take note of the escape pods as you strap in for a wild ride.
