Isaac covered his face with the breathing filter and tried to ignore the stench of the septic tank as he scrubbed the walls. Black mold and fungal rot caked the sides of the chamber, necessitating a deep clean. His protective gear was worn thin and torn along the sleeves\u2014it was only designed for single-use, but his captors had forced him to reuse it every dayshift for the past week. They claimed they didn\u2019t have the resources to fab him a new one, but from his experience on the Medea, Isaac knew otherwise.<\/p>\n

The Medea<\/em>, his family\u2019s starship. The one that had been handed down from father to son for generations. A lump rose in Isaac\u2019s throat as he remembered how the pirates had sent his ship hurtling into the heart of the Ithaca system\u2019s white dwarf binary. A part of him had died as he\u2019d watched it fall into fiery oblivion. He was supposed to pass the Medea on to his son, after he\u2019d settled down and a family. But now, the tradition would die with him.<\/p>\n

He clenched his teeth and mentally kicked himself. There was no sense giving in to despair\u2014not yet. Months had passed since the pirates had taken him captive, but sooner or later, he would have his chance to escape. All he needed was to bide his time and be ready for the opportunity when it came.<\/p>\n
