    About this ebook

    A suspicious distress signal pulls fourteen year old, mechanical genius, and socially inept girl, Aiyela off course to investigate a frigate without a crew, drifting in space, with the unknown lurking in its cargo holds.

    What looks like wasted time doing a good deed, may turn out to cost more than Aiyela bargained for when she finds out someone else is looking for the ship too.

Ball bearings squawked and ground as she turned past seven o'clock, slowing her spin. Hey, she glared downward, taking a hand off an origami swan she'd been working on, to shake a threatening finger. We keep you around to serve this ship. Spin well, and live. She turned her attention back to the swan. Don a helmet for my head. Drop the dareless boots of lead, cuz Iiiii gggottta fllyyyyy . . .
