Honeymoon in bedlam

Name: Honeymoon in bedlam
Author: Nelson S. Bond

A newly married crewman wakes from a blackout after a raucous wedding aboard the freighter Pegasus and struggles with hangover-induced embarrassment as the ship is requisitioned for a dangerous corporate mission: to investigate a recently arrived, unstable wandering planet called Caltech VI. The crew learns the newcomer has disrupted the solar system, attracted competing claimants for its ores, and left earlier expeditions mysteriously silent, yet corporate officers insist on sending the under-equipped freighter. The story combines comic shipboard misadventure, officious bureaucracy, and the mounting sense of dread about the planet's unknown hazards.
