"Hi! I am so happy to have found you. For a long time I thought I was alone :-)" Since humanity started texting a mysterious celestial neighbour, fifteen-year-old Leonard Yates had only one dream; to join Earth's finest scientists delving deep into space to meet the entity named Archer, who lives alone on a resource-rich planet. But time for Leo is running out. Nearly all the crew for the expedition have been chosen and are already on their way. Leo knows. He has watched each member enter the Astral-Terrestrial Occum Machine known as The Atom to be teleported aboard a spaceship already soaring through the stars. Leo has one chance; the competition for the last ten spots is on and to make the cut Leo needs an edge. This edge comes in the form of the local hermit, a gruff and mean former-astronaut named Trent Green. Leo must enlist Trent's help to be selected as a potential space-faring candidate. Will Leo have what it takes to reach his dream and step inside the Atom?

Adalie is a princess of the aviation industry who grew up in the lap of luxury thanks to her parents' company, but when she loses both of her parents in an accident, she inherits the position of CEO to what used to be an industry-leading company she barely understands. Pressures from the board and the prospect of soon shutting down the family airline don't make Adalie's adjustment to CEO any easier. At a loss for how she will save the business, she searches her father's office for an answer, finding only an old business card from a General Electric scientist in Munich with a note written on the top: "Call if you ever want to push the limits of technology to improve your airline." Pushing the limits is exactly what Adalie needs, so she travels to Munich to seek help from the scientists at General Electric's Global Research Center, unaware of how drastically this trip would not only change her company, but her life forever.
