Space stations don’t die. They are designed to run until they’re told not to. So what’s happening to Transfer Zulu? Caroline Grey is ready for life on her space station to return to normal. Finding a rogue ship floating outside of Zulu was exciting for a moment, but there was still an itinerary to manage and jobs to be done. For Jim Lebbe, the rogue ship and its mystery pilot are just a distraction from things happening back on Earth. So, when life-support systems on Zulu start failing, neither has the time or attention needed to troubleshoot what is surely just a technical problem. But if these are just technical problems, why do systems continue to fail? Why are they cascading? Why is Zulu dying one system at a time? It's going to take Grey and Lebbe working together to save their station if Zulu isn't already too far gone.
Who knows what the future holds but it has grown into a full blown mystery. Yes it has a few holes but it gives the characters who are going through some extreme changes which helps the story grow.
