In 2267 the Earth is quarantined, having been infected with a deadly plague by an attacking alien force. Scientists estimate that it will kill every inhabitant within 5 years, not nearly enough time for a cure to be developed. So the planet's only hope lies with the Excalibur, an advanced prototype starship sent out to search ancient alien ruins for their former inhabitant's secrets, hoping that somewhere out there a cure can be found.

But, as they begin to check the details for Dr. Franklin, Williams who will serve as Franklin's baseline makes a call. It's only to his sweetheart on Earth - but more than his sweetheart is listening to his transmission.
