- Synopsis
- Patricia Bover set out in a One. She had no idea where she was going and was astonished to find herself in the Oort cloud of comets, far beyond the orbit of Pluto, docking on what was clearly a Heechee artifact. When Bover got into the thing and looked around, she realized she was rich. The thing was absolutely stuffed with Heechee machines. The bubble burst when she found out she couldn't get back to Gateway. Her ship wouldn't move. No matter what she did to the controls it remained inert. It not only would not automatically return her to her port of origin, it wouldn't go anywhere at all. Patricia Bover was stuck, some billions of miles from Earth.
