(A spinoff of the Crimson Sun novels and universe by Maude R. Masterson.)In the empty, lonely void of the depths of deep space, an entire group of brave souls ventures to harvest the riches of Nebulas and Gas-giants. These people are known colloquially as Ridgewalkers. These brave, fearlessly adventurous souls risk their lives daily to mine precious gases that fuel the Phizon Reactors that power humanity's interstellar civilization. This is the story of one crew of such brave souls. Some live long enough to enjoy the fortune they earn in this profession, while others succumb to the effects of R.I.D.G.E.(Notes from the author)R.I.D.G.E. is inspired by the IRL world of Saturation diving and oil rig workers on the high seas. Which is one of the most dangerous jobs on Earth. This short story is centered around deep-space gas mining in nebulas and in the atmospheres of gas giants. Following a crew of a deep-space gas harvesting ship, chronicles of the nature of their dangerous trade, and a look into the less-glamorous side of the Crimson Sun universe with themes that include dark, industrial themes and light cosmic horror.Expect commentary about the line they walk between life and death, a discussion of how machines and men work to keep interstellar society fueled, And how often such things are taken for granted in interstellar civilization.
