"What would make the Rubicans suddenly lift the surface of their planet to make massive floating cities in the sky? Something terrified them so much they seeded the surface with a gas so toxic and corrosive nothing could exist there. But now the gas has naturally dispersed and Starcruiser One finds its not to keep something out but to keep something in."
