You are Ada Kessler, logs officer of the salvage tug Bramble, boarding the freighter Meridian Vane that went dark on the Ceres run eleven days ago with a crew of forty and a cargo the manifest calls 'reactor consumables'. The Vane still draws power somewhere aft. The Bramble's air scrubber is failing, so the three of you have eleven hours to find out what is worth taking, what killed forty people, and whether the thing that killed them is finished.
