On the world Cardinale, the scream was taken as a punishment from God. It led to the collapse of the previous society, and the rise of the Oculus Occlusus — The Church of the Closed Eye, which teaches that everything beyond Cardinale is an anathema. Faithful citizens turn their eyes away from the outside. They avoid the night sky, and carry parasols to hide from it. The Oculus preserved Cardinalian society, while also fatally stagnating it. Any technology not directly useful to survival was discarded, and innovation stifled. Despite the church's efforts to maintain a status quo, society degraded further with every generation.

Cassandra Tettius grew up at total odds with this society. A dreamer with her eyes on the stars, she wished to learn, explore, and discover — all things the Closed Eye discouraged. Hiding her discontent she joined the academic arm of the priesthood as a means to access otherwise forbidden records. In doing so, she discovered that the church had mothballed an ancient drill-equipped ship, the Farseeker, as a showpiece in the capital — literally suspended over the nave of the Blind Cathedral like an ornament.

Over long years of late-night tinkering and illicit tampering, Cassandra restored the Farseeker to something like operative condition right under the noses of the prelates filing past beneath the hulk each day. Luckily for her, most took the instruction to "not look up" literally, even when inside the Cathedral. Eventually, with her repairs as complete as she dared to make them, and a few basic supplies accumulated, she stole the ship, using the drill to launch directly out of the Cathedral and away from Cardinale. Only the fact that Cassandra didn't really understand the risk she was taking allowed her to succeed.

The dive was a success, but also the Farseeker's last. The ancient vessel, little more than a hulk held together by jury-rigging, failed almost immediately. The drill itself fused into an unsalvageable mass. Propulsion, life support, navigation, all collapsed so thoroughly that Cassandra doesn't even know where she is, or where Cardinale lies in relation to it. About the only thing still working was the distress beacon.
