The story follows the journey of a woman named Steena, along with her cat Bat and a spacer named Cliff Moran, as they uncover the mysteries of the derelict spaceship, the "Empress of Mars". The novella explores themes of perception, the unseen forces that guide our lives, and the importance of unlikely companionship.  The plot centers around Steena, who is colorblind and sees the world only in shades of gray, which becomes crucial in their adventure aboard the "Empress of Mars", a ship that has mystified many spacers for years due to its ghostly appearance and the strange occurrences surrounding it. After Cliff, desperate to reclaim his reputation and ship, agrees to seek out the derelict, Steena follows him, offering her unique insight into the ship's secrets. Throughout their journey, they encounter an invisible entity, leading to tense moments and eventual revelations about the ship and themselves. Ultimately, Steena's unusual perspective saves them, while the bond between her, Cliff, and Bat blossoms, revealing that true connections can transcend even the darkest of circumstances.
