People have been vanishing. Not many, not often, not at a volume where we've noticed quickly, but a small number of the ones who initially arrived here have simply disappeared. They've been vanishing since before the doors into space opened, and at enough of a rate that we'd notice the diminishing number of suits if they were all falling off the station into the black.

Initially I had assumed it must be because this place is dangerous. If that were the case we should be tripping over the corpses by now. We clearly aren't.

Radiation meds are pretty common, where I'm from - even a really hard dose of nuclear radiation is somethin' you can survive, long as you get the meds in time - though you ain't havin' any children, after.

Well, it would be idiotic to risk getting pregnant in a place like this.

[Says Jasnah, with her customary empathy for the human need for connection.]

So as long as we can find the medicine.

It ain't a good idea in space, regardless. Even Belters generally try to get down a gravity well.

[ His is completely said with empathy. Miscarriages go up dramatically, outside of Earth's gravity. He knows from experience. ]

Yeah. As long as we find it. Or find a way to synthesise it.

Do you think the food replicators can be reprogrammed?

[She asks, another subject she knows relatively little about.]
