Short Story
Pathfinder was not a happy ship.
Pathfinder's Captain was not a happy man, and made this glaringly obvious.
Young Lieutenant Grimes, newly appointed to the Survey Service cruiser, was also far from happy. During his few years in Space he had served under strict commanding officers as well as easy going ones, but never under one like Captain Tolliver.
