More DescriptionIn the year 2164, humanity is expanding outward into the cosmos at an unprecedented rate, and has yet to meet up with another form of intelligence. Knowing it's only going to be a matter of time before it does, it is decided, and at incredible expense, to dispatch ships qualified to search out and make contact with these unknown civilizations, in the hope of peaceful coexistence. It is aboard one of these vessels that we find Lt. Barrett Hannom, a simple navigator, forced to confront explosive, and far from peaceful, first contact scenarios way outside his qualifications. With some unconventional help in the form of AI, it is now up to him to self-rescue himself and any of the crew he can find still alive. Along the way he will have to face many mysteries head on, because answers here will be his only avenue for salvation.
