Unidentified re-entry
vehicle, this is Eupatoria Port Authority—come in.

Hello Eupatoria.

Unidentified vehicle,
your transponder seems to be down.

I don't have a transponder.

That's a fineable offense!

What are you
de-orbiting in? We're having trouble tracking you!

The situation was…complicated.

Can you do me a favor? I need you to provide me with coordinates.

Where I am, where I'm headed, and where I might be able to land.

Unidentified, please hold.

A lot less excitement
to take an elevator down to one of Chilo's floating cities.

Shame that hadn't been an option.

Sir?

Still here.

What's your name, sir?

Juan Smith.

Well, Mr. Smith, this is quite
an unorthodox methodology for de-orbiting yourself.
