I could have told you stories about her, that Magdalena. Everyone on the spacestation Babel tried to keep to themselves, but she walked through the various hallways with her chin up, her eyes set for the stars where no one could dissuade her.
Perhaps she was a foolish girl. Perhaps she was doomed to die.
But her parents had perished years before when Babel had been on the verge of collapse. They were never able to get safe passage to one of the asteroid colonies.
Madga said she wouldn’t be the same. She wanted more.
Babel wouldn’t be her tomb.
