Poul Anderson, The Avatar, XXVII.
The spaceship, Chinook, has jumped by T machine to another region of space:
the bearings of nearby galaxies show that Chinook is now about 500 light years from Sol towards Hercules;
the position is defined more precisely when, e.g., Deneb and the Orion Nebula have been identified;
Chinook has been transported to the system of a red dwarf with five planets, none terrestroid;
the ship orbits a Jovoid planet with twelve moons;
the holothetes, a woman and a Betan linked to the ship's computer, detect artificial radio transmissions in the planet's atmosphere.
