Patty

Prolific sci-fi writer Sean Monaghan delivers another one-two knockout story, with a genuine emotional heart. Experienced astronaut Creg Boston feels right at home on the rugged lunar surface, driving his trusty tractug as he explores for mining sites. In the sweet cool of the cockpit, the quiet of the isolation, the happy chugging, whirring sounds of the tractug, Patty, the vehicle's able AI, keeps Creg alert, and keeps him company.
But when the tractug lurches into a lunar rille, Creg needs to think fast. And act faster. An intimate story that focuses right in on the meaning of friendship and sacrifice.
