Synopsis: A spaceship with a multinational crew is travelling to its destination: another planet. The members of the crew are suspicious of each other and are watching each other closely. They are apparently afraid that a member of the crew would plant a flag of his nation and claim the planet for that country. Apparently that would be an irreversible and legally binding procedure, in effect for all time. The crew is then kidnapped by an advanced civilization so that humanity's maturity could be evaluated.
