Getting on with "Dance of the Deep"

Here's a little detail about the trans-neptunion object - VE 95 "Gary's Castle"


The shuttle "New Horizons II" beat a new path each time out toward the edge of the solar system.  Such was the nature of deep system space. You were never quite sure what you might find out there. Jim's own ship was "docked" or locked in a very tight orbit around a plutino they called VE95 or "Gary's Castle" after Gary Schaumbacher, a rocketeer who called VE95 home for many years before his untimely death.
