Summary
Nobody knew very much about the Sargasso area of the void; only one thing was certain: if a ship was caught there it was doomed in—
He lit a cigarette, the last one they had, and asked his wife "Want to share it?"
"No. That's all right." Diane sat at the viewport of the battered old Gormann '87, a small figure of a woman hunched over and watching the parade of asteroids like tiny slow-moving incandescent flashes.
Ralph looked at her and said nothing. He remembered what it was like when she had worked by his side at the mine. It had not been much of a mine.
