Amid the vast starry sky, a stellar-class battleship is facing an energy crisis.
After recently fighting a major battle, its propulsion system has been almost completely destroyed. All the survivors except the chief pilot have entered their hibernation pods.
Just as the pilot sits there, waiting for death in despair, a mechanical arm from who knows where knocks on the ship's outer hatch.
"Hello, I'm from another universe.
I got lost in space, so I came to ask for directions.

An ice cream truck driven by an utterly ordinary human happens upon aliens in the starry sky.
