It is the year 2084. Humanity depends on precious metals and gases from space. A spaceship crew is returning from a mining expedition to our neighboring system with a life-changing quantity of rare gas. While celebrating their future wealth, the crew detects a warning signal on the radar. Searching for an escape route, the spaceship flies into an oil bubble. The captain is confronted with a stalled engine, a leaking hull, and an injured crew member. The situation worsens further when another crew member, after exiting the ship, is unable to get back inside.
