Our senses form an integral part of our daily experiences, memories and the way in which we view our surroundings. They can both enrich or hinder our life experiences, offering their own interpretation on what we can see, hear, smell, touch or feel.

The Empire's only hope for survival may well lie on the shoulders of Richard and the crew of the recon ship Defiant.
