Steal from the World (short story)

Summary
Twenty-some years ago, brash young archaeologist Bernice Summerfield went to uninhabited Capella Four in search of the discovery that would make her career. But when she fell off a cliff and broke both legs, the opportunity of a lifetime turned into a desperate struggle to survive... one she had, realistically, no chance of winning.

Now Benny is back, older and (hopefully) wiser. Is what she had hoped to find still there? Can she solve the riddle of her survival?
