All she ever wanted was to gain some respect for the people left on Earth: the unlucky few whose immune system prevents them from portalling to other planets.

On top of everything, the first alien artefact ever discovered appears to be waiting for Jarra to reveal its secrets.

Or is her destiny only to look to the stars - but never to reach them?
