Under A Tell-Tale Sky: Disruption - Book 1 - Plot & Excerpts
The last days had taken their toll, and all looked worried and sleep deprived; Hughes knew he didn’t look any better. He directed the first question at Gowan.“How’re things looking down below, Chief?”Gowan shrugged. “We’re keeping the lights on.

The automation was designed to reduce manning, and if it’s not working reliably, we just don’t have the manpower to compensate.
