Synopsis: A congenitally brain-damaged resident of a space station orbiting past Mars, who is bullied by the other workers, ends up saving the station from both a takeover by a nihilistic murderous cult from Earth, as well as the tight-fisted control by the parental Earth corporation which had kept it from realizing its potential.
