A Niu Lifeship travels through deep space looking for the truth about humanity's downfall. Jafen 1.0 takes care care of the navigational calculations and other such mundane things. At least, that's how things are supposed to work. But, Jafen and the ship keep agruing over the most mundane things.
Until, Jafen 1.0 logs a strange distress signal.
Could it be a trap? Will the Niu Lifeship Zero find more than they bargained for if they answer the call? Or, are the last secrets of humanity somehow aboard?
Only contact will reveal the truth.
