The Hab
"You enjoyed the life. You enjoyed the privilege. And when the ledger came due, you turned your head. Every one of those people whose lives you ascended above, their numbers were written somewhere. You loved a line item, son. And someone closed her account."
System Lord Edric Vale
Eleven decks below anyone with artificial sunlight. One room, one hatch, one bunk. The plating hums with waste heat off the Spire and the rent lands in one cycle.
You still have hands, and you still have the contacts. Mira runs the salvage stall and Mira has a smelter. That is the whole business for now. Pull scrap out of the deck, haul it to her, melt it into plasteel, sell it.
Do that faster than the rent climbs. Then buy a smelter of your own, so the work stops needing you standing over it.
Miss rent once and you are out. There is no second notice.
