Huron: Isolation

Ghosts, mysterious lights, and a three hundred year old prophecy... The trip to the planet Huron was supposed to be Chin’s last mission. She had used her clout to get on board the UN ship The Sunflower, as it dashed out to Huron immediately upon learning of the discovery of the lost colonists’ descendants. In their rush to reach the newly discovered world with native complex life, they learned too late they there was no return. They were stranded, isolated in a void of space surrounding Huron’s solar system. Chin is desperate to find a way home, back to Earth, though it appears an impossible task. While waiting for the UN to come up with a solution, she is roped into negotiating the stages to establishing a new country for those who see Huron as a land of opportunity. The locals are convinced that the area they have chosen to settle is haunted. They also believe that Chin is either there to save them or destroy them. After three hundred years the details of the prophecy have gotten a bit murky. Not only are the locals convinced that the area is haunted, there is growing evidence that advanced life forms had lived there thousands of years before the Fitzgerald colonists arrived. Ghosts, mysterious lights, prophecies, and aliens... There has to be a logical explanation because Chin doesn’t believe in any of that. She believes in cold, hard science and is determined to find the science that will provide the solution to fix their isolation from the rest of the universe.
