Towards the end of the 21st Century the SIMs had explored most of our Solar systems. Now their investigations would spread out to encompass the whole of the Milky Way Galaxy. Their missions would range out far beyond our sun and its planets to reach for the stars.In 2090, to start this phase of exploration, they return to the Space Observatory to install new equipment, which would complete a system to detect and monitor mysterious dark matter which had been spotted - the remnants of dead stars surrounding our galaxy.Having successfully completed this phase of the operation, the SIMs set off on a mission to sweep far out into the Milky Way.They encounter a massive dark star whose gravity field starts to suck them into disaster. By using all their booster power are they able to pull free. Earthlink passes close to a pair of stars, which are merging. The resulting supernova explosion surges after the ship as she tries desperately to escape?
