Never Return! Admiral Achilles Bruntrak has lived his entire life by these words. For millennia, most of humanity has lived in the far reaches of the solar system, driven from Earth by the Great Plague to survive in the controlled environments of spacecraft and moon bases.

His job: to lead a diplomatic mission down to the planet's surface, a place that humans once called home but vowed long ago to never return.
