Quote:Note also that Mars is something of a detour from that line (making Ptichka's forced landing something that the Girls simply will not be present for, even if they were to hear about it as it happened)
More importantly, since Ptichka's emergency isn't by any definition of the term an accident, Martian orbit from atmosphere to areosynchronous gets locked down five minutes after the first mayday. Where there's one mine, there's bound to be others.
