When the troop transport carrying the 58th is severely damaged, Vansen and West find themselves barely able to calm their soldiers’ fears. Oxygen and other vital consumables are running low, and all communication with the Saratoga is lost. Using an ancient sextant, Wang spots an opportunity – a comet will be passing perilously close to the transport very soon. There may be just enough thruster power left to push the transport into the comet’s tail, making it visible to the Saratoga, but there may not be enough thruster power left to keep the transport from crashing into the comet moments later…
