On February 13, 2082, 65,536 alien probes surrounded the Earth. At first, they were like countless black holes embedded in the atmosphere. Later, they burned out together, triggering simultaneous resonance of all radio signals on the Earth and in geosynchronous orbit. Every infrared telescope could only see a snowflake. A brief, bright glimpse from an unknown creature. The Earth detected the source of the signal and sent three teams to the source - a comet in the Kuiper Belt near the orbit of Neptune, Burns-Caulfield to conduct surveys. The first two teams were both unmanned detectors. When the second wave of unmanned probes was about to approach, Burns-Caulfield, which had man-made instruments buried in the core of the star, exploded.
