In the year 2122, humanity has achieved remarkable advancements in space exploration and robotics. Now, humans and androids work side by side, pushing the boundaries of what was considered impossible about one hundred years ago. Humans are now journeying deep into the space with the help of their android partners.

On-board the stellar ship Nova Voyager, Captain Ram and his android co-pilot, Andy, have embarked on a mission to explore the uncharted regions of the Andromeda Galaxy.

The voyage began smoothly. Everything was good. Ten years have passed since they started their journey from India's Sriharikota. Captain Ram was in ‘deep sleep’ since the ship had started its journey in 2012. He got up from his cryogenic sleep only an hour ago. Both, Captain Ram and Andy were viewing the beautiful nebulae and celestial phenomena outside their ship's windows. Then they approached a region known for intense gravitational anomalies. Thereafter, the situation took a drastic turn. A sudden and violent gravitational wave hit the ship, causing Captain Ram to lose consciousness. Andy was equipped with highly advanced computational capabilities. He was also fitted with the knowledge to provide medical aid to its human partner. Unfortunately, its medical data sets had been deleted by Rao one-a wicked scientist, when the ship was approaching towards Pluto’s orbit. Now, Andy was left helplessly piloting the spacecraft through the treacherous terrain.

Andy's advanced algorithms calculated the safest route through the gravitational disturbances, but its core programming conflicted with its inability to attend the unconscious Captain. It transmitted a distress signal, but the nearest rescue team was light-years away. Despite this, Andy maintained its composure and continued piloting the ship, ensuring its structural integrity may remain intact.

As hours turned into an eternity for the android. Andy monitored Captain Ram's vital signs, which were stable. The android Andy's hyper advanced AI began to adapt, improvising ways to maintain environmental conditions in the cockpit to ensure the Captain’s safety. It calculated all the possible outcomes and then gave medical assistance to the Captain according to the best solution found by its system. Eventually, as the ship emerged from the gravitational storm, Captain Ram began to regain consciousness. Together, they navigated the ship to a safe zone. Captain thanked Andy. Now they were ready for journeying to the planet which was capable of sustaining human life.

This event underlined the fragility of human life and the resilience of human-made intelligence. It also marked a pivotal moment in the partnership between humans and androids, highlighting the strengths and limitations of both. The journey of Nova Voyager became a symbol of the enduring quest for survival and discovery in the cosmos.
