New York.
The heart of Manhattan.
The rising sun shined on Wall Street as usual. But what was different from the past was that the busyness and orderliness were disturbed by an unexpected news.
A fast food restaurant on the corner of a street.
Most of the people sitting here were employees working nearby. Even though it was a small place with cheap prices, because of its convenience and high-quality food, many famous Wall Street people visited here.
Two white-collar workers in suits and leather shoes were sitting by the window. They were eating pancakes while discussing.
"Did you hear?"
"Hear what?"
"Tau Ceti! The headline from the Wall Street Journal! The star colonization fund already raised a capital of 10 billion! Jesus, you actually didn't know this?"
What the hell is Tau Ceti?
