Von Schelling had financed the fleet of deep space probes that had found the coordinates and trajectory of an extinction-level asteroid on its way to Earth. It had been only natural for him to sell the information to Earth's governments. They had threatened, reasoned, and begged, and then they had paid. They wanted to live, after all.
Now Earth's first asteroid buster was ready to launch from Cape Canaveral, but the governments delayed it. If Von Schelling wanted to be saved, they noted, they were willing to oblige. For a price.
