    Study Notes

    The Adventure Begins...

    • A young woman named Alia is sent to repair a satellite orbiting a barren planet.
    • The satellite is part of Deep Space Industry's communications network.
    • Alia is a skilled space engineer with a passion for science and adventure.
    • Her only companion on the mission is a robot helper named R.E.N., with artificial intelligence.
    • The journey took three weeks to reach the Pulsar nebula.
    • The goal is to repair a satellite on a barren planet called Eniac.

    Mission Complications

    • The artificial intelligence of R.E.N. has flaws.
    • Alia must manually repair the malfunctioning satellite.
    • The repair process takes hours.
    • The ship experiences major problems, compromising its radiation shielding and computer systems.
    • The spaceship loses its orbit.

    Further Problems

    • There is an emergency return winch that pulls Alia back to the ship.
    • Communication and life support systems are down, resulting in oxygen depletion.
    • Alia must search for a source of ice to replenish her oxygen.
    • No water or ice is found on the planet Eniac.
    • There's a large, magnificent, black building on the planet.
    • The walls of the building are lined with panels of unknown origin.
    • Marbles rolling down the panels generate a vast, mechanical noise.

    Discovering More

    • Alia discovers a complex mechanical system, likely the core of a massive alien civilization.
    • Marbles are used in a geothermal pump system.
    • The mechanical systems are vital for planet's energy.
    • The alien civilization is not there to assist in the repair.

    Conclusion

    • The complexity of the systems is enormous.
    • There are countless puzzles.
    • The mission is extremely challenging.
