But Ajax was reluctant, he had never led such a mission, taking a light-sail powered starship from Earth to the Centauri System using the incomplete Star Way. He thought that strong leadership would be needed. He was right. The leader of such a mission would have to handle the normal amount of human drama, both petty and serious. He would also have to handle the accidents and incidents that would occur on a journey lasting years.
