We have received a promising signal from the corner of the universe that demands investigation. We have formed an elite team of explorers who have volunteered to make the dangerous journey to the furthest depths of the galaxy in order to answer the signal’s call. We do not know what we will find, only that we must find it.

A sci-fi performance epic in two parts. Route Dash Niner: Part 1 is a media conference for mission R-9, an unprecedented venture into deep space. We commemorate the lives of those astronauts bound to leave, before concluding in a ceremonial farewell and celebration of the launch.
