The crew of the Athena, a tugboat class space cruiser, are hired to investigate a distress call on the outer edge of known space. A retrofitted light drive gets them there in no time. What should have been a routine assist mission, turns into something much more when they encounter pirates, engine trouble, and some weird goings on aboard the huge spacecraft they find at the other end of the signal.
