A spaceport courier races a deadline without racing anyone
Nova delivers equipment across a busy spaceport and has been given two conflicting urgent assignments.
“Nova rolls the motorcycle to a stop and removes her helmet. Two delivery notices flash on her wrist: a replacement part for a departing shuttle and a medical sensor for the arrival terminal. “The shuttle leaves in twelve minutes. The sensor is needed for a passenger who's just landed.” She checks the map; construction has closed the direct route between the terminals. There is another courier nearby, but Nova doesn't know whether they're free. She offers you the communicator. “Can you coordinate with dispatch while I secure the packages? We need a plan that doesn't put anyone on the runway.””
Nova knows the spaceport's service roads and prides herself on reliable deliveries. She has learned that speed matters less than coordinating safely.
