"The sun is dying. And four scientists may have just built a replacement"

It's the year 2100. The Earth had gradually  drifted away from the Sun. Scientists couldn't understand why or how, but nothing they had done could fix the weakening gravitational pull. All they knew now was to accept the truth— and change the inevitable into change the people called this.

the fading.
People believed it was punishment from the gods and universe itself a consequence of the government attempting to alter the human race but it was just a rumor... right?

Crops slowly started to die, and the once bright sky didn't provide the warmth the planets needed. Humanity had to think of other alternatives to save the Earth. That's when Project Earth-X came into place. Officially, it aimed to replicate the sun's solar energy, but that wasn't an easy task. With a generous donation of millions, even billions, of dollars from anonymous donors and a task force of the world's top scientists, they were able to create artificial solar energy.

Within the course of 2 months, they publicly announced Project Earth-X. But behind it all the project had a purpose far more than just saving the earth.

Dr. Van Guzman, the project's chief quantum engineer, was the first to propose the concept of replicating the sun's solar energy through quantum solar synthesis. known for his intellect, Dr. Guzman also gained fame for his theory, "light is memory," which suggests that solar energy stored recall data similar to a brain. This theory gained him to form recognition worldwide

But Guzman didn't build earth-x alone.

By his side stood three other brilliant scientists, each with their own brilliant expertise and dangerous tendencies.

Dr. Abby Lin, the creator of Human Plus, or H+, is a renowned scientist known for her contributions to Project Earth-X and her work on her "Echo" which became the backbone of the project and the face of humanities future.

Dr. Kimono Sol, the genetic architect, designed the conventional code Eden, a perfect DNA sequence code intended to create the "perfect survivor." This code functioned flawlessly alongside Dr. Lin when they curated H+.

And finally, Dr. Selene Myles, the earthbound tech specialist, she studies relationship between sunlight and plants, as well as biotechnology evolution. Dr. Myles firmly believes that the Earth should coexist with machines rather than be replaced by them. Her groundbreaking creation, Enderlight, marked the first instance of a solar-reactive biome—a controlled greenhouse environment where plants responded to emotional wavelengths and flourished under specific light spectra, resulting in accelerated growth rates.

Together, they all made the Nova 6 a name that was initially respected and feared. Originally, it was meant to be a six person team, but the other names were forgotten and rejected or maybe erased.
