Greenbriar's second expedition ship is located, and rescued.


The Pillar of Salt was a companion ship to the Fish and Loaves, meant to arrive at Gudrun just a few weeks after the initial footing had been laid. Laden with psi-tech experts, more advanced technological supplies, food, and more colonists, when The Scream happened, it failed to appear.   The ship drifted on in near darkness for almost a year, before faintly detecting the signals coming from Gudrun. Using the last of her power to angle closer, they were able to get a message out- and a repair team was dispatched from the colony.   Adam Lyndon, Silvano, and Doona boarded the ship, repaired the damaged comms, spike drive, and quelled a potential riot below decks. Donna was also reunited with her wife, Irene, who had in turn become the first mate of the vessel, her analytical skills useful in determining how to make best use of the rapidly dwindling supplies aboard.   The repair crew departed, and a month later the ship arrived in orbit over Gudrun, disgorging her 5,000 colonists and precious supplies.   The ship herself is now the only thing large enough to transport the mechs of House Draconis into battle, and has become their go-to transport.
