Here is the rephrased text:

Contact with an alien race, the Gliese, has been made, but communication is impossible. There is trade, but on seemingly inexplicable terms; anti-gravity technology was traded for a bicycle tire. As we begin to colonize the stars, we are still dependent on the mysterious aliens who we still do not understand. It falls upon the unlikely team of a conceptual artist, Marc, and assassin, Kara, to embark on a mission that will unearth the mystery of the Gliese.

Marc is a conceptual artist who has always been fascinated by the unknown and the possibilities of extraterrestrial life. He has spent years studying the Gliese system and has developed a deep fascination with the alien race that inhabits it. Kara, on the other hand, is a skilled assassin who has been hired by a mysterious organization to investigate the Gliese trade and uncover the secrets behind the alien technology.

Marc and Kara's mission is fraught with danger and uncertainty. They must navigate through a complex web of political intrigue and corporate sabotage, all while trying to avoid the deadly Gliese assassins who are hunting them down. As they delve deeper into the mystery of the Gliese, they begin to uncover a plot that could change the course of human history forever.

The Gliese technology is unlike anything that has ever been seen before. It has the potential to revolutionize space travel and energy production, but it is also coveted by powerful corporations and governments who are willing to do anything to get their hands on it. Marc and Kara must navigate through a treacherous landscape of betrayal and double crosses, all while trying to stay one step ahead of their enemies.

In the end, Marc and Kara's mission is a success. They uncover the truth behind the Gliese trade and expose the corrupt corporations and governments that have been profiting from it. The Gliese technology is finally made available to the public, and it is used to create a new era of space exploration and scientific discovery.

As they look back on their adventure, Marc and Kara realize that they have been changed by their experience. They have learned that the unknown is not always scary, and that sometimes the greatest discoveries can be made by those who are willing to take risks and push the boundaries of what is possible.
