Unlike its adverts, the planet Wilhaven is in decline. When Molly’s cruiser crashes, she’s pursued by the military organisation running the planet, all for the sake of a missing gem.

Molly crashes through her skylight, and offers joy to Phoenix’s love-is-dead cynicism, if only they stop the Militaria before Wilhaven ends up the same rubble-planet as Phoenix’s home.
