During Helena’s time aboard the ship, she meets an engineer named Alex, the only other human (bar her parents) she has ever met. Set in the not so distant future Orbiter 9 is the story of how Helena, a woman brought upon a ship soon after birth, grew up inside the only home she’s ever known. Laboratory conditions can only monitor so much, numbers and statistics rule in the world of analytics. Orbiter 9 tells us a story of the human condition, of love, life and the value of existence.
