n Artemis, the first city on the Moon, porter and part-time smuggler Jasmine "Jazz" Bashara delivers contraband cigars to the wealthy businessman Trond Landvik. Although Jazz is well acquainted with Trond and his daughter Lene, she meets a new associate there named Jin Chu who holds a mysterious case marked with the name ZAFO. Trond announces a plan to extend his business by taking over Sanchez Aluminum, and he offers Jazz a life-changing sum of money to help him. Sanchez is a company on the moon that extracts aluminum from anorthite rocks, a process which requires 80% of the electricity from Artemis' nuclear reactors but provides the city's entire oxygen supply as a by-product. Jazz accepts the mission, which is to sabotage Sanchez's anorthite harvesters so that Trond can step in with his own.
