HITONER: the first contact

Two years after astronaut Rikashiki lost contact with Earth and was declared dead in the line of duty, three human astronauts are sent to E-47 to study the planet and investigate the mysterious disappearance of the previous astronaut, Rikashiki.

The possibility of discovering extraterrestrial life is already part of their mission. What they do not expect is to find evidence of an advanced civilization.

While observing E-47 during its night cycle from orbit, the three astronauts suddenly see vast networks of artificial lights spreading across the planet's surface. Cities, infrastructure, and signs of technological civilization become visible beneath them.

They have not discovered merely another form of life.

They have discovered a civilization.

Now the astronauts must decide how to proceed: continue observing from orbit, investigate further, or descend to E-47 and attempt direct contact.

Their decisions will determine how humanity's first encounter with an advanced extraterrestrial civilization unfolds.
