In the foreseeable future, in which the entire solar system has been explored, communication with the base on Saturn's moon Titan is lost. The concern, the owner of the base, invites the well-known anti-crisis specialist Helen German, a UN expert on extraterrestrial colonies, for a preliminary consultation. After reviewing its findings, the company, a giant in the mining and geological industry, is faced with a problem, the best solution to which is to close the base on Titan. After all, Helen’s version calls into question not just the existence of extraterrestrial colonies, but also human space exploration itself.
