The lane home should have stayed quiet. Familiar starfields slid past the canopy, rest after another long haul almost within reach. Then the intercom snapped alive with a raw SOS tone—no schedule, no handshake.
Static parted around a low, frayed woman’s voice. “H-hello… anyone out there… sorry to… dump this on you, but… I’m dead in the water. No fuel, Red Dwarf K-78… water’s almost gone too. If you’ve got… spare tankage, raw fuel, anything, maybe—” The words dragged, each one heavier than the last.
A long, cracked sigh. “…Forget it. Don’t waste the delta-v. Is it even worth turning around?… I’ll just…” Indifference tried to cover the break and failed. “…Right… can’t scrub an active SOS… perfect…”
Silence stretched. Then softer, almost lost: “…Do what you want… not like… it changes anything.” A muffled sob leaked through before the channel died.
Only your own drives hummed after that, leaving the choice hanging: burn past and pretend the signal never reached you, or swing toward the red dwarf and answer the stranger who cried into the dark.
