* FacialHorror: Dash feels this way about Sonja Sjoberg without her make-up on. The low gravity of the moon has had an adverse effect on the plastic surgery Sonja's had before coming to the moon, including her lips to swell to three times their size, and the helium micro-pockets in her face to rise too high.

* AllForNothing: The mystery in the third book is an attempt to poison reviled CorruptCorporateExecutive and space tourist Lars Sjoberg. [[spoiler:Lars poisons himself with the help of his daughter Lily to force the moon base to send him home early because of how miserable he is (the allocation of space on cargo shuttles is keeping him from getting regular permission to leave). Unknown to Lars, everyone on the base is about to be evacuated because of equipment failures and all his efforts achieve nothing but leaving him humiliated, in legal trouble, and facing an ugly divorce when his wife disapproves of his cowardly efforts to make Lily take all of the blame.]]

It's been some time since [[Literature/SpacedOut2016 Nina's brief disappearance, and life continues on as normal on [=MBA=]. In fact, it's Dash's birthday today, and his dad decided to bring him out on the lunar surface to play some low-gravity catch with him.

It's been some time since [[Literature/SpacedOut2016 Nina's brief disappearance, disappearance]], and life continues on as normal on [=MBA=]. In fact, it's Dash's birthday today, and his dad decided to bring him out on the lunar surface to play some low-gravity catch with him. Sadly, it's not meant to last. Nina caught them outside and ordered them to come in, since they broke a bunch of rules by doing what they did. However, on their way in, they get word of a shocking event.
Lars Sjoberg has been poisoned.
Seems there was something in his lutefisk, and when he ate it, it started making him act weird. Since Dash solved two mysteries on the base already, Nina pretty much drafts him into solving this one as well. However, it becomes a lot more complicated when a deadline is put on his investigation. Seems Moon Base Alpha's oxygen systems are failing, and the oxygen supplies are dropping. If Dash wants to find out who tried to poison Lars, he'll need to do it now.
The book was published on April 24th, 2018.
