On the planet Roiissa in a remote galaxy, the Roiiss Elders labour and struggle over the primal problem of existence – survival.

While they concentrate their formidable intelligence on the ‘Second Experiment’, their servant Tec has his own ideas about survival. And he sets in motion a new chain of events which span countless lightyears and aeons of time. But not even Tec can guess at the cataclysmic outcome of his actions...
