Upon arrival to the frozen prison colony, Styrrgn, they immediately find something wrong and seek to investigate why an entire colony has seemingly disappeared overnight.

Plot
They heard an ominous distress signal from a desolate planet in the Crux constellation -- it was almost completely devoid of alien or human life but there were obvious traces that frozen-over colonies were once stationed there -- and went to investigate. Upon landing and scanning the nearby area, Jane found traces of invisible trails of antimatter that should not have been on any planet in the Milky Way galaxy.

With herself, Sephiroth, and J. T. on the mission of finding who sent the distress signal and search for any survivors, but unable to fly any further than several miles outside of an apparently inhabited encampment, they take a long journey to find the colony with barely anything to prepare them from the frozen environment and what might lie ahead.

Upon reaching the encampment to find it was abandoned rather abruptly, Jane sets off alone to investigate the antimatter trails and takes hours to return, leaving both Sephiroth and J. T. to start their own investigation to find her, believing that she may have possibly gotten lost in the blizzard that surrounded a clearing in a nearby chasm. Instead of finding her, they find that the antimatter trails they had also been using to search for her stopped at the center of the clearing where they lost her coordinates.
