The colonization project Genesis has long reached its destination; a solar system located some quarter-million light years away from New Earth, to investigate—and potentially colonise—planetary bodies of interest. Comprised of twelve crewmates: astrobiologist and terraformer Willio Mulberry and Shelley Mulberry; captain Forrest Church; security head Charlemagne Baudelaire and security crewmate Martin Randolph, Spencer "Penny" Burns, Wayne Sloan; pilots Byron Harper and Danny Harvey; navigator and communications crew Bonnie Scott and Keith Chang; android Victor; and golden retriever shipdog Tucker Mulberry, has just finished scouting a prospective colony, planet GNS-1, and has communicated back to New Earth to report their findings. Initially bound for the next planet, GNS-2, an unknown space debris hits the ship, forcing it to land in GNS-1.1, GNS-1's moon. The ship's engine is severely damaged, and the crewmates explore the moon in the meantime, surprised to find it just as accommodating as any other human colony, despite having not being flagged as a potential colony by the mission.

Will is excited at the prospect of exploring an unknown celestial body not specified by the mission, though is not keen at his mother's (Shelley) warning, who advised that there was a reason why the mission project back at home did not flag the moon as a potential colony...
