Sukhoi System. Acceleration 10 m/s2

Fives Full jumped in only a few million klicks from one of Sukhoi’s network relay buoys. Analog ships, of course, couldn’t carry the digital gear to communicate with it. Schwartzenberger glared at it as they went by.

“Traffic!” called Mitchie as another ship appeared between them and the relay. After pinging it with the radar she said, “Oh. It’s the heartbeat ship that was in line behind us. Must’ve hit the gate going fast to emerge ahead of us.”

“Don’t know what his hurry is,” said the captain. “He’s going to head back in an hour.” The other ship was pivoting to face the buoy. It would transmit the mail and Pintoy’s network status then head for the gate. The mail was free-riding. The heartbeat ship’s job was to convince Sukhoi that Pintoy had not fallen to corruption or subversion since the last hourly update. The Fusion wastes so much money on its paranoia, thought Schwartzenberger.
