Destiny once again comes under attack from the drones they previously encountered leading them to wonder just how the drones and their control ship manage to find them so soon after virtually every jump. More intriguing to everyone however are the people they find on a planet who claim to be the descendants of Destiny's crew who founded their civilization nearly 2000 years ago. They are only a small party from their home world but have been unable to return there. Eli surmises that the alternate Destiny that they believed was destroyed by falling into the sun may in fact have been thrown even further back in time, leading them to be the founders of the new civilization. After the drones again find them and the descendants camp is destroyed, they are all taken aboard Destiny for the return trip to their home world but are disappointed with what they find when they arrive.
