Synopsis
A revolutionary device called the macroscope can observe anything in the universe at any scale, but its signals contain a destroyer sequence that annihilates the minds of anyone too intelligent who views certain transmissions. A small team of scientists embarks on a journey through the solar system to unlock the macroscope's deeper secrets.
