The story takes place entirely aboard an Emergency Dispatch Ship (eds) headed for the frontier planet Woden with a load of desperately-needed medical supplies. The pilot discovers a stowaway: an eighteen-year-old girl. By law, all eds stowaways are to be jettisoned because eds vessels carry only the fuel absolutely necessary to land safely at their destination. The girl wanted merely to visit her brother on the remote planet and was unaware of the law. When she saw the "UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL KEEP OUT!" sign while she was sneaking on board the eds, she thought that at most she would have to pay a fine if she was caught.
