Ramon 'RJ' Nunez is a repairman of sorts. He's a submariner, a former astronaut, and a graduate network engineer employed by the Western Digital Consortium. His primary job is to repair and maintain submerged WDC datacenters dotting the Pacific shelf. It's a demanding, sometimes unpredictable job. The operating word is unpredictable. The ocean is a mistress you can never trust. Fans of Arthur C. Clarke's Deep Range might like this ongoing tale.
