Nora Devi escaped the slums and made it to a trade school. She learned to be a xeno archaeologist, which sounds cool even though we never see any of those skills in action.
This is a tight, sci fi story filled with characters having competing interests. Nora wants to be left alone. Aria wants to find her parents who were off searching for something. Then there are the royals, who want much more than anyone else.
Add to the mix the captain of the Genghis Khan, a nice lonely guy who see a spark of interest in Nora.
What starts as an interesting but relaxed story quickly ratchets the tension up. The Genghis Khan finds something. Aria knows more than she lets on. And Nora has some secret skills of her own.
Great editing and a tight story add up to 5/5*
