The time is the future. The crew aboard a massive, commercial space vehicle is en-route to earth with a load of extra-terrestrial ore when they are side-tracked by mysterious signals from a nearby planet. The signals seem to be calls for help and when the space ship arrives they find a ruined, mouldering spacecraft and within it egg-like living organisms.
