    First, we built across... Then we built up... Then we built down... What happens... When we run out of Space? The Future. Jade learned about how long ago, people looked forward to the future, thought about all the bright times it would bring. Now, everyone looks back at that and laughs. The "bright future" brought everything but bright times. The world's population continued to grow larger and larger. We just didn't know when to stop. That forced us to up construction and expand cities until the entire planet was a giant utopia, with only a few areas set aside for artificial farming, mining, and manufacturing. But even then, we eventually began running out of room. So we built skyscrapers, as tall as they could possibly be without getting in the way of planes. We stacked skyways on top of each other. When we ran out of room there, we built giant tunnels underground, buildings with tons of basements, so deep they kept going until it was too hot to go any further. Then the resources started dwindling. But the population did not rest. Overpopulation is eminent, and there seems to be no solution. But the government has a different plan... Jade, Adriana, Percy, and Lane, friends from Pixus High School, are chosen for a special assignment by the secret government program called S.A.T.R.A.P., the Space And Time Relocation Advancement Program. It's mission is to discover and explore new places for humans to settle across the dimensions of space and time. Hesitant but eager, they accept. But as it progresses, they realize this project may be more than meets the eye. S.A.T.R.A.P. has a plan to stop the overpopulation problem in its tracks, one that means a restart for the world and everything in it. It's an inhumane experiment, and they're the first test subjects...
