Humanity has made an alliance with the first aliens they've encountered. The Glint are similar in many ways but different in others to humanity. Time will tell how the two cultures mesh.

This alliance of Glint and Humanity together now moves forward to expand their horizons and see about expanding any allies they have and seeing if there is anything to ally against.

Follow the crew of the Tempered Longing as they embark on the first joint mission to an exoplanet that may have intelligent life.
