Entropy, the gradual decline to disorder: you can’t conceive the horror of entropy until you’ve lived in space. For Seung Shikun, maintaining SpaceHotel was far more about staying alive than about structural engineering. When an ad titled ‘Orphans Preferred’ was given to him by a friend, he read about Excelsior Mining Corporation’s jobs to establish a mining colony on Mars.

Seung had long strived to help get people off Earth. Despite all the risks with living in space, it seemed far better than relying on one fragile planet. Working on the colony was much more apt to satisfy his goal, and it would get him out from under his sociopathic boss.

Nobody could predict how critical this one engineer would be to the future of human life on Mars.
