In the early 22nd century, humanity had come out from the scientific dark age started by a rogue man. A team of scientists were brought together under an uneasy government and scientific banner to develope new options.

In the years that followed, one man James, showed more potential than any others before him. His research gave birth to an experimental jump drive opening the doors to human exploration to the edge and beyond Sol.

One such expedition is planned to Pluto, one of the last planets left unexplored by people. During the journey James learns that there's more to the trip than anyone had let on first hand. An unknown energy source had been detected and the orginal reason for the exploration was to discover its origin.

In this process, humanity discovered what it always wanted. However, discovering what they wanted ended how no one could have ever expected.
