Mira placed six shaped charges at the rotor’s stress points. Her hands were steady. She pressed the detonator.

But Captain Okonkwo wasn’t celebrating. “Mira, we’re not turning. We’re drifting sideways. The meteor swarm is wide. We’ll clip the edge.” action reaction and momentum conservation

The Ulysses shuddered, creaked, and then—moved. The inertial dampeners whined as the entire 10,000-ton vessel accelerated sideways at a gut-wrenching 0.2 Gs.
