Rogue Phoenix

Rogue Phoenix is a short story (6,200 words) about a hacker that takes control of a power satellite in lunar orbit. Phoenix satellites collect energy from the sun using solar cells.

When satellite control detects that the beam has wandered off the receiving pad, an investigation is launched to find out why and how to stop it. Soon our intrepid technicians discover that the beam is headed toward the dome where the mayor of this lunar outpost lives.

Can they solve the crime and catch the hacker? Can they regain control of the satellite in time to save the colony?
