The Impossible Moon
If it sounds too good to be true?The Interstellar Initiative Starship Endeavor has been exploring stars and training cadets for almost a year, but their shaky reputation (and an unstable entity in their hull) could get them grounded any day. Or destroyed. Either is possible? and both are likely.But then an opportunity presents itself which just might be a solution to their problems. In the Tsangharee cluster is a moon the locals revere as the source of a coveted power: universal communication. Having the ability to talk to the entity in Delta Section might well save everyone from losing their jobs, or worse, their lives.Whether it's magic or science, real or hoax, Ensigns Lidstrom, Kesiel, Paul Newman, and-if she plays her tiles right-Arrksh will be among the first to investigate. But when the opportunity to obtain this mysterious ability presents itself, will it be worth the price they have to pay?
