DEAD FREIGHT

Port Kestrel moves four million containers a day. Errors are not tolerated. Unit 44 has run logistics for Vance Orbital Freight for eleven years, and he keeps getting it wrong. After one catastrophic mistake, Director Ada Vance gives him a final warning: one more error, and he goes in the crusher. Alone, humiliated and covered in the graffiti of everyone who ever despised him, Unit 44 finds friends in the scrap lounge — and they have an idea about the Director's shuttle.
