The premise, in the publisher's words
A motley crew (of autonomous programs), a peaceful (if perhaps mysterious) mission, and no enemy vessels for lightyears around—what could possibly go wrong? Just about everything, as it turns out. And after a strange midflight disaster knocks out most of the ship's subsystems (sabotage, perhaps?), you'll have to guide Mezure—the plucky new administrator process—and the rest of the crew to repair the damage. But beware—not all is as it seems aboard the H.L.S. System.
