When a mysterious capsule reveals that an alien ship is stranded on Mars, Earth launches a rescue mission—and a woman’s beloved joins its support crew.

The story

The people of Earth are stirred by news that an apparently artificial object is approaching, and they wait tensely for visitors. A small sphere falls into the ocean, but it proves to be a capsule containing an alien starship’s flight log. Scientists play it back and learn that the vessel traveled from the planet Centurius toward Earth before making an emergency landing on Mars. Earth responds by sending the interstellar ship Ocean to help the aliens, with radio astronomer Tanya aboard. A second rocket, the RDU-12 cargo craft, follows to provide Ocean with additional fuel. Among its crew is Andrei, the man Tanya loves.

Full plot (contains spoilers)

The people of Earth were stirred by the news that an apparently artificial object was approaching. Everyone waited tensely and prepared to welcome the visitors. However, the small sphere that fell into the ocean turned out to be a capsule containing the flight log of an alien starship. Scientists managed to play it back: it turned out that the starship had been heading for Earth from the planet Centurius, but had been forced to make an emergency landing on Mars. To help the aliens, the interstellar ship Ocean sets off from Earth, carrying radio astronomer Tanya. Soon, a second rocket, the RDU-12 cargo craft, is sent to provide Ocean with additional fuel. One of its crew members, Andrei, is someone Tanya loves beyond measure.
