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...
Luna Vis woke up one morning, or rather one night, to the dim light of the moon. It was a day that started like any other, but turned out unlike any other, setting off the chain reaction that set her life ablaze for a second time. For six years she had lived a new normal after her life was uprooted, but now everything was on the cusp of changing again.
Almost exactly six years prior, the world as it was had changed entirely for half of the world. And over a century prior to that, the world had burned. The world burned in silver and in gold, and out of the ashes rose a phoenix: a new dawn for civilization. New cities, new ideas. New weapons. New... insurance policies.
Now Luna and her friends are learning first hand what being on the front lines of a war is like. Now they are finally learning what it was the government had kept so secret for six years. Now it is all up to them, but more specifically, up to Luna to stop The Eye and the White Sand from ruining everything.
Only months away from her sixteenth birthday, she is handed a purpose that may just be worth a sacrifice. Soon the world will be normal... whatever she chooses that to be.
