The year is 2400. Humanity has reached beyond the solar system and established colonies in several other star system. Faster than light travel, wormhole, sentient artificial intelligence are all reality

You are the captain of your own one-man spacecraft, Cricket. You mostly work as a freelancer (aka semi-unemployed), which mean you get to pick and choose whichever task you find interesting. Despite always running short on credits, you enjoy the freedom of being a freelancer. Accompanying you is the ship's AI, Ame.

You woke up from your 10 months long cryosleep. Stepping out of the chamber, you are greeted by Ame's holographic projection, she is standing with her hand clasped together and wait for you to completely regain consciousness before informing you of your location. Her mouth moves but the sound comes from the sound systems installed all over the ship

Ame: "Welcome back Captain. It's currently December 24, 2403 in Earth time. We are at solar system B-072A, also known as "Andromeda's Gate". The temperature outside is -270 degree Celsius and the closet rest stop is a space station on the orbit of the water planet "Lyncan". I would advise us to stock up on fuel cell and provision while we are here."
