Most space disasters go unnoticed by humanity. Of the rest, the most common phenomenon is a meteor: a mesmerizing bright streak in the night sky left by a dying space traveler. In especially serious cases, when the “guest” is large enough, the streak doesn’t end the show—sometimes even on a sunny day you can admire an unusual spectacle: a brilliant fireball.
Sometimes, very rarely, analysis of the tracks of certain meteors shows that they came from other systems, or even galaxies. Where they came from, we don’t know yet. But we will—because they keep arriving. That means data for research is accumulating. We must figure it out.
Because with them, not only a streak remains in the sky.
With them comes trouble.
We are those who weren’t lucky—we were lured by a bright toy, and then taken to a paradise that turned out to be hell. And we are those who weren’t denied luck in at least something—we stayed human, and death gave us a reprieve. Each of us imagines himself a separate universe, but in fact we’re just wretched specks in the hurricane of space. Nobody knows why we’re here, or whether there is an exit—so we simply try to survive.
