Living by bad neighbors is hard. Especially when there is a whole mob of them. Needing to do business with them makes it harder. Imagine nine billion noisy disrespectful neighbors who canβt keep their word and would be just as happy to see you dead.The orbital nation of Home moved the fence line a little by moving from Low Earth Orbit to beyond the Moon, but the Slumball, Earth, is still a just few light seconds away and thoroughly unpredictable.April and her partners Heather and Jeff know they need an entirely new neighborhood far away. Their superluminal drive will let them do that. Itβs better than anything the Earthies have. They have just started learning to use it and explore both its capabilities and the nearby stars. They donβt want to jump out too far too soon and disappear inexplicably like the Earthies' first starship the Pedro Escobar did.Starships arenβt cheap and they have two now and a sort of lifeboat. Theyβll need more and a lot more trained crew. Right now, they need to gather resources including money. Theyβll do business with the Earthies to do that, but there are real limits how much crap April will put up with for their support. Such as if they kidnap her banker friend. They havenβt found anywhere men could live or full of valuable resources yet but they havenβt lost hope of doing so and expect to make it all work in good time.
