Took Their Wages

Returned from long years in interstellar space to longer decades missed on Earth, a starship's crew face their biggest obstacle yet:  Human Resources.

Fresh off their victorious defense of a starship captain on mutiny charges, attorneys Calvin Tondini and Sara Seastrom must now pivot to a new challenge: defending the same starship crew's hard-earned salaries.  Bureaucrats citing relativity want to apply a different clock than bargained for in the crew's original contract. 

Whatever may be said about Einstein, time, and space, the crew's attorneys know that money isn't relative.

Check out Took Their Wages for a sober analysis of this timely question.
