Study Notes

The Adventure Begins...

  • The story follows Alia, a space engineer, tasked with repairing a Deep Space Industry communications satellite orbiting the barren planet Eniac.
  • The repair mission takes three weeks.
  • Alia is the only engineer skilled enough to fix the complex satellites.
  • She's been fascinated by space engineering and science since childhood.
  • Her companion is a helper bot, R.E.N., with AI system Alia coded herself.
  • Alia's mission is complicated by a broken satellite and a malfunctioning AI bot.

The Repair Mission

  • Alia and R.E.N. work to fix the broken satellite.
  • R.E.N.'s AI, (even with some updates), is not very intelligent.
  • Alia has to fix problems manually for a successful repair, which takes several hours.
  • A critical problem occurs when the helper bot, R.E.N. severely damages the satellite.
  • Alia and the bot must quickly repair the damage.

Return to the Ship

  • The ship's hull is damaged after a powerful beam of light pierces through it.
  • The ship rapidly loses speed and is pulled out of orbit after the damage.
  • R.E.N. is failing to protect the ship and its systems.
  • The ship is headed towards the planet's surface.
  • Alia struggles to land the ship.

The Planet's Surface

  • The planet Eniac's surface is rocky and barren at first.
  • Alia is searching for a source of water but finds a magnificent, massive, black-colored building
  • Investigating the large building confirms that it's a massive, mechanical structure.
  • Inside the building, Alia finds a magnificent array of mechanical components.
  • The source of this noise is marbles, which are powered by geothermal energy.

The Alien

  • Alia finds the remnants of an alien and notices that the marbles are not meant to fall as quickly as they are.
  • The missing parts of the alien mechanism are causing these problems, slowing parts of the machine's function and efficiency.
