Bei einem Zusammenstoß ihres Raumschiffs mit einem Meteoriten haben unbekannte Erreger die Astronautinnen infiziert, woraufhin sie von der KI Anulus in künstlichen Kälteschlaf versetzt worden sind. Somit ist Anulus nicht nur oberste Hüterin aller Regelkreise und Steuerelemente an Bord, sondern für Anouk auch die einzige Ansprechpartnerin.
