Ada awakens on a deserted space station as its solar cells begin to catch the sun and bring power, heat and light back to its cold interior. Although she knows her name, Ada can not remember how she got to the station or why no one else is on board. As she explores the cramped compartments, it becomes evident something significant has happened and she has been intentionally marooned on the derelict station.

On November 3rd, nineteen fifty-seven, the Soviet Union launched the first living creature into orbit; a stray dog named Laika pulled out of a Moscow animal shelter. The Sputnik II had no re-entry capacity, so this was a one-way trip. In this alternate version of the story, Laika is a passing celestial being accidentally trapped by the earth’s gravity and dragged reluctantly to its surface in the middle of a Moscow winter. Stranded, in the body of a dog, the alien being is forced to intervene in the early Soviet space program to get a ride home.
