The story revolves around a character known as The Guesser, whose unique predictive abilities are critical in space warfare, particularly in the operation of a merchant ship, the "Naipor". The narrative delves into themes of class disparity, identity, and the dangers of relying solely on technology in combat situations. The plot follows The Guesser as he navigates the complexities of ship life and the repercussions of an incident that leaves him declassified and without a home. After being shot and left for dead, he finds himself in a low-class area and forms an unlikely bond with a Class Six woman named Deyla, who proposes an audacious plan to escape their circumstances by infiltrating a Misfit ship. As The Guesser grapples with his identity, past failings, and painful memories, he must ultimately confront former colleagues and prove himself once more in a hierarchy that deems him unworthy. The story combines elements of tension and introspection, showcasing themes of survival and the quest for belonging amidst societal constraints.
