PartnerShip
Several hundred years after Helva was commissioned, Nancia takes her commission as XN-935. Her first trip is to transport five troublesome progeny of high-level families. Nancia finds her cargo have no respect for her or others, so she does not communicate with most of them. Most of the passengers do not realize Nancia is a Brain-ship, so under assumption she is a Drone-ship they conspire to break laws.
After five years the passengers will see who has accumulated the greatest wealth. Her recording systems capture the conspiracy, and years later her travels bring her up against the network that the five have been operating.

Anne McCaffrey’s name resonates deeply in the world of science fiction, not just for her imaginative worlds but for her ability to weave emotional depth and humanity into stories about dragons, space travel, and the bonds that define us. Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1926, McCaffrey’s passion for storytelling took root early, though her path to becoming one of the genre’s most beloved authors was not an immediate one. Before turning to writing full-time, she explored a variety of professions, including acting and singing, but it was the written word that eventually captured her heart.
