Hal Spacejock has a issue. His cargo hold is packed with expensive food, and the refrigerator gear he bought from Bent Jimmy’s bargain bin has just failed … exactly as Clunk predicted.

Hal needs substitute parts prior to the cargo rots, and he’s forced to abandon his precious ship at the spaceport to go looking for them.

Which really is a pity, because a key agent has just decided Hal’s dispatch will be ideal for her mission … with or without his authorization.

May Hal find the brand new parts and come back before it’s too late, or will he reduce his ship, his cargo and his livelihood … again?
