The world hasn't been right for 85 years; not since that loathsome day on Earth, the one mankind has termed as the 'Glorious Penalty'. It was an historical event that saw dozens of stars hit the earth's surface. Unbeknownst at the time, however, is the fact that these stars transported some kind of alien virus. It ravaged the world, destroying most of humanity and turning a few into prototypical hyper-humans called "aberrants". Now it is the year 2110 and there are warring factions of humanity left. The 'Righteous Hand' and its opposition, the 'Iron League' are just a few; and they're constantly searching for aberrants to use for their own selfish ends. Caught in the middle is Medanita and her band of misfits. The world is unkind but for an orphan girl in a Separatist Conclave? Even more so. Her life changes after a befuddling encounter with an Elder leads to her being taken from home. She soon discovers herself to be an aberrant and that she and others might have what it takes to stop the violent extermination of her kind... and maybe even the world.

In a world where people have lost their will to live, a war rages between the present and the future. One side fights to enslave the world and keep it under his absolute control, the other fights to restore and liberate the world while also finding a new place to survive. As part of the Beta Team, Ophelia was used to going into that future and bringing back the things that kept the ruler of the world empowered. What she didn't know was why, and she didn't care. Just like everyone else, she never thought, she never felt, she only completed one task to move on to the next, and did only as she was commanded. Until she came back different. When Ophelia regained her will, she was terrified of what would happen if anyone discovered her secret. She knew that IF they ever found out she would be sent to one of the many centers around the world designed to keep humans from having any ambition, creativity, or instinct to live.
