Honeycomb: Lethal Cargo: Honeycomb, #2

By Wren Cavanagh and Junior Sokolov

The Triton has left the debtor colony on Honeycomb with riches in mined ore in its holds, and a few ex-cons who have done their time and earned a ride back home. But a merciless killer is along for the ride, as are new aliens lifeforms, struggling to survive.

Soon Zara Dean, who signed on to train as a ship doctor to escape the megastructure she called home finds herself in the unenviable position of being on the front line caring for the victims. Kim Haru who has survived the monster attack on Honeycomb joins the fight, and with the entire crew, they race against time to save themselves and the ship.

And if she gets out alive Zara might just become who she was meant to be.

Look to the stars

The blood splattered the surgical gown and sleeves up to her elbows and painting them bright red, it speckled the protective glasses on her face. She snapped off the surgical gloves loose and slipped the gown off her shoulder and over them before folding the ensemble into a ball and tossing it in the medical waste bin.

He’ll make it.

Yes, he will, great work Zara, outstanding surgical skills. Glad you are on our team.

Teamwork, he’ll need prosthesis.

Our engineering room along with the 3d printer will take care of it. And once we get back to civilization they can grow new legs for him.

How many people are left on Honeycomb?

Oh, nobody’s else is leaving. It’s a prison colony after all. We are just going to give a ride to seven miners who finished their sentence.

Who was that boy who brought Haru aboard, who saved his life?

That boy turned legally into a man a few months ago; he’s the law down there. Thank God we left him some help, hate to see Quint get hurt. There are rumors that harder kind of criminals than debtors will be shipped to that prison.

Zara nodded, Ten minutes break? Then health check the miners?

Make it twenty we earned it.

Zara Dean cleaned up, stepped into the break from and fell into the soft couch with a sigh of relief, she stared at the stars outside the large window. The sky full of stars and swirling nebulae, no horizon to be seen. She felt free at last. Free of the worst orbital station on the wrong side of Saturn. Free of the crime, the sameness, the dullness.

Chance of a lifetime, Zara. Don’t fuck this up. She whispered then stretched to loosen the stiff muscles and went back to work.

Homeward bound

Angry Mary as everyone, who has spent any time with her calls her, is to her bones an angry sociopath suffused in selfish grief for the death of the only person she had always benefited from, and at times cared for. She’s also carrier. Her body a ship within a ship. Her passengers enjoy the delights of their new environment, new foods, and new exciting events.
