With Earth's primary challenges surmounted, Jack's gaze returned to the stars. The universe, with its infinite mysteries and unexplored worlds, beckoned. Armed with their spatial-matrix technology, Jack and Tanya had the means to traverse the cosmos in a way no one ever had.

Their first destination: Proxima Centauri, the star system that had been the subject of their first successful test flight. However, this time their objective was Proxima Centauri b, the second planet in the system. It was a world shrouded in mystery, a tantalizing prospect for their first foray into deep space exploration.

Once again, they boarded The Harbinger of Peace, the ship that had changed the world, and activated the spatial-matrix drive. Space folded around them, and within moments, the starship was light-years away, hovering in the Proxima Centauri system.
