One sacrifices their dream. One has a misguided dream. One believes they will never achieve their dream.

People didn't want him. Nonetheless, he persevered in pursuing his dream of becoming an astronaut. Vincent went to great lengths to achieve his dream, even sacrificing his identity in order to adopt another's, but gave everything up for the guy whose identity he had borrowed. However, was it worthwhile, and who was he now without his original identity? Will Vincent uncover his true self or sacrifice everything for others?

The "accident" claimed more than just his legs; it took away his life. Struggling to survive, Eugene yearns to try another attempt-this time succeeding at death. Yet, the unsuspected presence of his borrowed-ladder is enough to refrain from trying anything under his watchful gaze. Will Eugene succeed at his misguided dream, or will he discover a new sense of life within his existence?

They always miscalculated her. It was her unfortunate genetics. Was it not? With the dream of going into space like the rest of her co-workers, Irene gazed at the rocket launches with starry eyes as well. However, inside her faulty heart, she knew she would never be able to achieve this dream because of the organ. Will Irene run to her dream rocket launch, or will she be left behind in its dust cloud?

Every prototype technology has its risks. After an accident involving a novel robotic suit, Keres cadet Sky begins to have recurring lucid nightmares where she finds herself in a prison called Tartaros. Soon, one thing becomes clear: Tartaros is more than just a dream, and as the lines between reality and her subconscious begin to blur, Sky is forced to question her own perception of the world. Meanwhile, more and more mysterious accidents shake the city of Pharos to the core, threatening the safety and security of the last surviving humans on earth. Through her own accident, Sky finds herself drawn into the investigation of an enigmatic task force. The prototype technology, her dreams, a dubious doctor, a missing part of her medical files and a dark secret from her past all seem to be connected, but how?

I couldn't breathe. I couldn't see. An intense bubbling pressure filled my mind and a burning pain filled my body like lava. Was I moving? Fighting? I couldn't even tell. The pain is unbearable, and I have never felt so detached from my mind ever before. Is this death? All at once the fiery burning pain that filled my veins turned to ice, and a new pain formed, sending my body into a shock. I could feel my teeth chattering like a woodpecker on wood, and hear it slightly also; Why can I shiver but not scream? My thoughts didn't carry far, as I felt my body come slightly back into my control, the pain still under my skin and ears ringing. I started thrashing and yelling due to my new found control of my body. My voice sounded foreign to my ears, and came out more a gargle than a yell, something was in my mouth. I felt hands against my arms, restraining me and voices speaking quickly and hushed. A sharp pain in my neck brought me darkness and the pain finally stopped. Number Three is thrown into a confusing trial of tests regarding her new found abilities and developments, although she is left with no memory of what was before. All she knows is that her existence is for Project Interitus, or that's at least what the doctors who run the facility say. Luckily for her she isn't alone in these new found discoveries, three colleagues join her, One, Four, and Seven. All of them are wary and unsure of the facility in which they stay, nor trusting of the people who run the trials, as they continue to dismiss and silence any questions or thoughts they have regarding how they came to be or what they're there for. Memories resurface, and curiosity grows stronger as this group of test subjects become closer and more intuitive, making it more of a challenge for them to be controlled without rebellion. What is the purpose of her abilities? Will Three ever regain her memories of the past or did she never have one to begin with? Lets just hope she survives.
