Synopsis: An apparent stowaway arrives to a Mars colony. He wants to get a job, but you need to have at least one doctorate to work at the colony. The scientists do the routine maintenance as well as they are able and have time, and it seems it really might be useful to have someone used to construction work at the colony, but the law is law, and the scientist think about sending the man back to Earth in the same ship he apparently arrived. But that ship was only for cargo and wasn't even pressurized...
