Ian and Mabel are struggling to figure out their place on the Colony Ship Zubalamo. They have escaped some threats, and they think they have found a safe hiding place. Two former members of the ship’s flight crew have befriended them, giving up all links to their previous positions, but that has caused all four of them to be outside of the typical patterns of living on the colony ship.
