Biologist Elain Mavka is sent to a foreign planet recently named Miea.  A place where she gets free range to explore, document, and report the findings of site 27-43. Otherwise known as the Mushroom Forest. What seems to be beautiful and mysterious turns out to be just that. Where Elain is the first explorer to make contact with humanoid aliens. Though are they really the aliens when she is on their planet?

Her only company on this journey is young Milo Zephyr, who is still in his training wheels, and Selcouth, a companion she encounters soon after their arrival. Well, them and the strange feeling that they are being watched.





On another side of the spectrum, the older sister (Enya) of her infant brother (Kenton) are looking for a way to survive up in the station effectively named Head Quarters. Her with an assistant's job to keep everything in order on the ship. Then, with no explanation, there was a sudden blaring siren and flashing red lights. A guard she knew, who was a few years older than her, marches them straight to an escape pod that. Sending them to a planet they've never known before.

The three of them landed on completely unexplored territory of this planet and it didn't take long for Enya to stumble into a nine-foot monster of a creature. Or, rather, it stumbled into her.

In the age of technology, it's certainly a great time to be alive. New technology by NeuraPlex, an up and coming research company, allows anyone to upload their mind to a server and be woken up in the future in a new body of their choosing. To top it off, participants feel as if no time has passed. Natalie Coleman is one such person looking to enter the future. With a boyfriend who bailed last minute, a mom too sad to support her, and a dad who's anti-tech, the only person she has left is Eli. Together, they go through with the upload and plan to wake up 100 years in the future. What was supposed to be a fun adventure in time turns into a nightmare. Natalie wakes up alone, or at least without Eli. Woken up in a room full of strangers, she finds out that it's been closer to a millennium from the date of her upload, and they're trapped to be the slaves of who Natalie assumes to be NeuraPlex. Finding Eli is her first priority and escape is her second, but in a world where every uploaded mind is in an unfamiliar body and tied to company owned chips, these tasks are nearly impossible. Should she manage to find Eli and escape her despotic captors, what can she do about all the other stolen minds?

No one ever knows the whole story... Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself. In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever - or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. ----- The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series.

Along with the alien, a beacon was left on Earth which when activated, opens a portal through which the aliens will return. The extraterrestrials visit Earth to usurp Qi, Earth's vital energy. If the extraterrestrials go too long without Qi, people on the alien planet will die. However, when Qi is extracted from Earth, the weak and elderly of Earth will die.

The story takes place in a small town surrounded by forest near the Oregon-California border. Of course it does, after all, the highest concentration of Qi is found in forests where ancient redwoods grow. You might be wondering, what is Qi? In Japan it is called "ki," and in India, "prana"."

"I know you're lying" Michael said between sobs. I was about to object when he continued, "Don't! I know you're keeping something from me. I've been trying to figure it out, but I just can't get to a plausible conclusion. Nothing makes sense, Charlie." My heart was beating so fast. His words hit me like a truck. I'd hoped it would never come to this, but I knew the only acceptable thing to do was to tell him the truth. "Okay" I said "but you need to hear what I say without interrupting me and please, please, keep an open mind." *** All of time and space was at her fingertips. She had seen places nobody could ever dream of in a lifetime, and yet, there was one destination, one person she was desperate to see before she went back to her time. A dream of a lifetime was about to come true, but Charlie would soon find new meaning to the saying "be careful what you wish for".
