Down Under Crater Billy Summary
| There's a settlement down under Crater Billy, and it's home to some five hundred souls who all have one thing in common: they are abnotechs, people who by their very nature cause all devices in their immediate vicinity to break down, malfunction, spin out of control, or just plain die. These people have not been banished there, instead they spend their difficult and sometimes dangerous lives as product safety testers. Dave is Chief Safety Officer in this chaotic enclave, and his life is already difficult enough when Crater Billy is sent a new nanotech-based airlock to test. His sometimes girlfriend Gloria, who is also Chief Testing Officer, is eager to begin testing it. Dave sees nothing but danger and doom, and does his best to devise a test which will let it fail--as he is sure it will do because all devices fail eventually around abnotechs--without killing anyone. The testing goes well for a time, until a failure in some totally unrelated device causes a situation where the life of a young girl is on the line. AnLab Award Runner-up |
