Free Junkyard Dogs 1: The Scrapyard Incident by Phillip Nolte

Harris. "We might be sounding a false alarm but
I'm willing to take the chance! We have to warn them!"
    Harris picked up the
pace as much as he dared, but the remainder of the twenty kilometer trip to the
auxiliary station still seemed to take far too long. Upon arrival, the group
quickly docked the two sleds, and cycled through the airlock, leaving any
unloading for later. Hawkins and Harris immediately headed for the
communications console.

Chapter 10
    ...The New Ceylon Orbital Station was a
facility that was way oversized for the planetary system that it served.
Another leftover from the failed Delphi Investment Group L-5 project, the same
group responsible for the Scrapyard, the station had defaulted to the planetary
government when Delphi imploded. The facility was a spoked ring a full two
kilometers in diameter, spun to simulate gravity. The ring itself was a flattened
rectangle in cross section, with the long side of the rectangle parallel to the
spin axis. Within the rectangle were five decks with deck five being the
outermost and deck one the innermost...
    ...The orbital station was large enough to
house some eight thousand people; more if they didn't mind a little
overcrowding. This particular station had never housed more than about three
thousand as the amount of commerce and other activities required in the small
system didn't merit the expense of having more people in orbit. Many of the
people onboard the station at any one time were in transit, awaiting transport
to Meridian and other systems off in that direction of the Quadrant. Often
these people would have to wait several weeks before their connections arrived...  
    ...Orbiting some five hundred kilometers
above the planet, the New Ceylon facility had only a single ring, but the basic
design could be expanded dramatically by simply adding more rings. The Santana
Nexus Station, for instance, followed the same basic design parameters but
consisted of ten rings...

    ...Naturally, newcomers to the station will
find things to be a little confusing until they learn a few simple guidelines.
As you probably noticed on your way in, the station is spinning. The spin is
necessary, partially for the stability of the platform, but also to provide
simulated gravity for your comfort and safety. The simulated gravity means that
what you feel as "up" is inward from the outside rim of the station
towards the spindle.   'Down', of course
is just the opposite. We use the traditional terms 'North,' 'South,' East' and
'West' to describe other directions important for navigating the station and
maintaining your orientation. The 'North' end of the station is the end that
has the large airlock that you entered through. 'South' is just the opposite.
When facing northward in the station, the rotation occurs in a clockwise
direction. 'East' takes you in the direction of the spin and 'West' is movement
against the spin of the station. Each level is clearly marked with Arabic
numerals on conspicuous wall areas throughout the level. Compass symbols to
provide directional orientation are embossed into the floor material and are
clearly visible at most corridor intersections...

    New Ceylon Orbital Station, October
6, 2598.
    The Naval
Reclamation Center cutter docked with the huge New Ceylon Orbital Station at
just after 0600 hours. Kresge went through the formalities with station
security at the entrance to the station and headed for his temporary quarters.
With any luck, he wouldn't be using
