Archaeology, without the guns and whips.Aliya Elasra is not a likeable character. She is cynical, untrustworthy, and as stubborn as a wayward child. She is unpleasant to those who care about her, and as a result, the list is rapidly dwindling. Her mentor at the University of Iox calls her into her office one day and tasks her with finding a missing roboticist, Janniqi Renba, who was trying to find… something. Aliya is not a detective.

You travel across the Nebula between tiny, barely-populated moons, on the search for clues about Renba – and about what he found.
