In a future age of Inter-Planetary travel new world's and alien races are awaiting discovery and a decision must be made. Who will be the first Inter-Stellar explorers to make alien contact? On a tiny asteroid between Mars and Jupiter a tiny handful of people seek the honor. They are ""the accidentals."" They are pathetic, crippled, and deformed humans, half or quarter men and women, fractional organisms masquerading as people. To many they are just ""circus freaks"", but to them they are members of the human race and set out to change mankind forever.
