It took Skylar a full minute to recall the chain of events that had brought her here,

deep into outer space. She had awoken from her deep, dreamless sleep only a few
moments before. After stretching her unused muscles, she surveyed her
surroundings, recognizing the instruments and equipment around her. Everything
had gone according to plan, and she had been asleep throughout the entire three-
year journey. Now, she had a crucial mission to carry out, one that would influence
the very course of life back on Earth.
