Equus received a heart-warming visit from a group of Inklings thirteen years after completing an exploratory mission of space. These Inklings included cousins Callie and Marie, known as the Squid Sisters. Along with them were their husbands, Michael and Andrew, their children, and their parents. Andrew and Marie's daughter Lizzie had just graduated high school when they visited.

The exploration crew had also established research bases on the other explored planets. Over time, the inhabitants of both planets remained friends and Equus continued exploring deeper into space. Little do the crew members from the initial exploration know that they are about to be called out for a mission that will test all of their skills.
