Five Liberty ships were reverse engineered from technology of classified origin, and were propelled by an experimental photon propulsion drive designed by Dr. Hasslein, following on from the prototype used for the Juno mission to Jupiter. The crew were to "pollinate" the stars if something went wrong and they found themselves stranded. Three months after the crew entered hibernation, the Liberty 1 collided with a ship exactly identical with itself, automatically setting an emergency course for Earth and crash-landing there nine months later (by ship time). Back at ANSA, the X-Comm technology allowed Dr. Hasslein to monitor progress, but communications abruptly stopped en route to Centaurus.

abstract	Five Liberty ships were reverse engineered from technology of classified origin, and were propelled by an experimental photon propulsion drive designed by Dr. Hasslein, following on from the prototype used for the Juno mission to Jupiter. The crew were to "pollinate" the stars if something went wrong and they found themselves stranded. Three months after the crew entered hibernation, the Liberty 1 collided with a ship exactly identical with itself, automatically setting an emergency course for Earth and crash-landing there nine months later (by ship time). Back at ANSA, the X-Comm technology allowed Dr. Hasslein to monitor progress, but communications abruptly stopped en route to Centaurus. Image:Icarus.jpg The ship splashed down into a stagnant salt lake about eleven months into the crew's stasis. The male crew revived and found the dessicated remains of Stewart's body in her pod. They were forced to evacuate the ship as it quickly began to sink to the bottom of the lake. Upon landing, Landon's location transmission signal from the TX-9 somehow found its way back through the time distortion to the place they had left, prompting ANSA to consider sending the Liberty 2 along the same trajectory, either as a rescue mission or, more likely, as a suicide mission which would nevertheless prove time-travel theory. Shortly afterwards, ape scientist Dr. Milo spoke with Landon and was told about the lost space ship. He organised a team of fifteen chimps to undertake an unapproved expedition to locate the craft. Image:Escape scene13.jpg Image:Shiptruck.jpg Some time later, Dr. Milo recovered the wreckage of the ship and somehow restored it to working order, taking off moments before the Earth's destruction. Milo and his colleagues, Dr. Zira and Dr. Cornelius, witnessed "the rim of the Earth melting" and were thrown through a Hasslein Curve to 1973 - a point little over a year after Taylor left. The ship was recovered from the sea at El Palomar, California, and taken away for examination by NASA, where it was found to be Taylor's missing ship.
