I has a nit-picky comment! This line:

“That shows how high on the Martians’ priority list this job is,” Schneider said.

doesn't actually tell me anything, though I can see that it's supposed to. I have no idea what a decommissioned Atlantic-class
personnel carried cum battle cruiser is, or what it might mean for their situation, so unless it's explained somewhere that isn't quoted here, the line that should explain things just leaves me confused.

I can derive from context that this means this job is either very high or very low on the Martian's priority list, but I can't tell which and it probably matters.

Hope that helps and isn't annoying or totally refuted by something in the text not quoted here!

(PS: I love "donut on a stick" as a description.)
