Having fallen into a mole hole, the ship drifted out of time and space. None of the crew members could even guess where they had been brought, and how many centuries it took for all the fragments of their bodies to come together and come back to consciousness. Judging by the maps, they were thrown into a completely unexplored sector of the Galaxy, which now had to be studied before there were clues, invisible axes along which you can try to return to the spiral arms, timidly hoping that the stellar streams in them would keep their directions and move to the center.
The sector itself made a depressing impression - the abundance of charred stars that once made up a bright cluster, lifeless planets on which artifacts of ancient civilizations could still be preserved - all Earth archaeologists could spend their lives here. But for the crew, these studies were part of a rescue plan.
The fragments of the past delivered by the drones on the ship formed a complete picture. It became clear how long intelligent beings left this sector. Soon a supernova flare followed and a pearl-colored nebula expanding into light years around hid the secrets of the past.
By its bizarre shape, it became clear where interstellar gas rushes under the pressure of galactic rays, which means that we must fly towards them - to the first spiral, and then along it another hundred thousand light-years. And with luck, we will still catch the Earth before the Sun swells up to the orbit of Mars, swallows all our settlements in the system and goes out forever ...
