An intelligent robot is sent through a wormhole as a probe to scout alien worlds. Long forgotten 1,000 years later, it encounters an expedition that has landed on the planet. But the laws and ideals it left its planet with have changed. He has grown attached to the primitive aliens on the planet, but 1,000 years later humans are only looking for resources to mine. The captain, crew, and their far more advanced droid care not about preserving alien culture, nor do they want a scout to help them with interspecies relations. But the scout chooses not to believe this is the expedition it has been waiting for. Instead it chooses to uphold the values it started its journey with. |
