It's 2053. Private space exploration increases accident rates. Thus, the world's insurance agencies formed Cosmic Rescue (CR). CR rescues victims of interstallar catastrophes and removes debris from prior collisions that endanger other spacecraft. Nanjou Satoshi captains CR Shift Division 89. Eguchi Ryo, his trusted mechanic, and Sawada Azuma, the fiery novice, spend their days removing debris. Azuma intercepts a young girl's emergency beacon. #89 rushes to the location, but the ship escapes from their radar and they are fired from CR. The ship and girl disappeared—what happened? Azuma's imagination? Disappeared ship? Was it hidden? Answers may cost more than jobs.
