Carrie Vaughn's Graff #4 available from tor.com for free.
This was was just a background filler, structured as a flashback to a mission on which Dr Ell accompanies Graff to visit an asteroid that is all mined out and due to be destroyed. The mission is to "retrieve off-network data and tissue samples from a lab in 67B’s office section', except that tissue sample isn't a thing in a Petrie dish...
It is a bit of a cutesie romantic story, it is when Graff fell in love with Ell, and while it was 'not the most romantic thing' the flashback setup manipulates to to be, a bit.
This one didn't reach the expectation based on the more solid action of the previous stories in the series. Hoping the next (at this point last, although here's hoping for more) ramps back up the action.
