The Savitar now controls the small black hole that threatened the Earth.

Scientists discover the presence of an ancient alien presence in the solar system.

Zack the first President of the Savitar agrees to investigate this presence as the first official act for the Savitar.

The photos of what seemed to be pictures of a city in the mantle of Mars, strange objects in the moons of Jupiter and Saturn presented by Dr. Craig Garrity convince the leadership of the Savitar to take on the mission.

Janet's comment on seeing the ring on Titan as "it must be a big dog to have a ring that big to tie the chain to," causes Zack to recognize the ring as the bottom anchor for a space elevator.

The Savitar sets its own anchor and establishes a space elevator to the surface of Titan. There a message engraved in the ceramic anchor above a sealed ceramic box captures the imagination of the team.

The discovery of what appeared to be a shaft going down into the mantle of Titan convinces everyone that a colony had once been established on Titan.

A visit to Mars verifies that the early solar system space travelers were Martians that had suffered a planetary crisis.

After deciphering the message left by the departing Martians, Janet wonders if after two-hundred and twenty million years the surviving Martians still existed.

She composes and sends a message to where the Martians may have gone. After a long waiting period a simple response saying that they had survived and would soon respond in detail is received.

Janet becomes closely tied to a Martian, Nadia, who she learns has written the sad poems of to all those who died on Mars. She names her twins, a boy and a girl, Keren, and Nadia after the two people that were the leaders in saving the Martian population.

The Martian's reply that they are glad that there is a three hundred year distance between them and a very talented but also very aggressive human population and who in a short period of human development have out done the two-hundred twenty million years head start that they had.

Janet envisions a long distance but close learning relationship with the long-departed Martians.
