In 2578, it's been nearly 500 years since humans started to flee Earth. They're now spread across multiple galaxies, thanks in large part to the SPEED drive, which hits velocities thousands of times the speed of light. Earth was left behind, and is now a mere afterthought. Agora One is a planet-sized ship, the first of its kind. It is home for many species, traveling trade port and vacation spot for many others. When news that Earth suffered its final, mysterious calamity reaches Agora One, some on board want to investigate. A motley group is formed to investigate, and what they find on Earth is far more stunning than anything they could've imagined. The consequences of their investigation will impact Agora One, and possibly the future of all life in the universe.
