A story following two young space travelers, both with their own dreams and agendas. Kaia, to leave Driftwood Sector, find the source of the strange signals she keeps hearing, and maybe discover who — or what — her absent parents really were. Elio, who wants so much more than to trade cargo for the rest of his lifetime, who seeks adventure and education outside of his primitive social circle. The two are an unlikely pair, but together with a ship of their own and a group of outcast, misfit friends, they’re a wrecking-ball threat to the cosmic hierarchy.
A/N ;; Otters here! This outline is still a rough work in progress, and the project itself is not yet established. I’m hoping to fill the mold with the help of a passionate team. Thank you all for reading!
