King Liam, First of His Name! A miner of some repute! Well, he will be when he gets back from his eight year journey to the Oort Cloud. He often fantasizes about the looks on everyone’s face when he comes waltzing back on Ceres, richer than any Belter has ever been. Oh sure, four years of isolation might have left him a little touched, but he only has four more years to go. He just has to make it to a little planetoid he's named Lucky Strike, and all his dreams will come true. What could go wrong?
