Moss'd in Space
by Rebecca Thorne
Torian Razner just bought a starship, and contrary to Amelia's assessment, it was not a sign of stupidity. Sure, the alien starship may have been abandoned for a century, and it may be covered in moss now, but it's Torian's ticket to freedom, regardless of what her ex - ah, captain - said. But Torian's first flight reveals a surprise: the moss is actually an organic computer with a snarky attitude and serious abandonment issues, who blames the immortal alien who built it (and then parked the starship, with Moss inside, and forgot about it). The same alien who just found Torian and accused her of stealing the ship. It's entirely possible that Amelia was right about this meteoric stupidity.
