There have been missions sent out into the wastelands to try to reconnect to other domes, but none have succeeded, yet. When it is discovered that Dome 17 may suffer a similar fate to those other domes, a risky and last-ditch plan is attempted. Teams will be sent looking for any of the seven great intergenerational colony ships which were launched a century ago. Yet, all those ships have been lost for decades.

As the gargantuan multi-generational colony ship plows through space, many light years away from the dead home world, Ian believes that his partner, Mabel, is still alive.

Those AIs must work covertly, and that makes all of them fugitives.
