A spatial rift that looked like a curved lens appeared, and the silvery-white Petrachelys emerged from it. Out of hyperspace, the spacecraft was now hovering in space.
There, Hao Ren was looking at a strange star system.
An old yellow star was orbited by 22 solid planets and three gas giants. Three of the twenty-two solid planets had signs of life, even civilizations. Guided by the navigation signal, the Petrachelys descended to a position just above a planet in the habitable zone. This planet had the mildest weather of the three life-containing planets. The navigation signal showed that Galazur and Anthony Alfonso were waiting for them on the planet.
"We have to leave the spacecraft in orbit," Hao Ren said, turning to look at the others. "Nolan, switch the antenna to forwarding channel. Mimir, stay online, wait for Nolan to connect to Yggdrasil and then talk to him before it fled."
