In the nigh unfathomable mystery of both something and nothing that is the Between a connection is forged. A new world is connected to the magics of what Starlight calls the Archive and the Nexus. For this current moment, they restrain the magics of Adventure but that won't hold for long.

A team of archivists quickly sets to confirming the limited knowledge they were able to grasp from Alexander's mind and various electronic devices and then expanding out from there to fine-tune the existing plans for extending their sphere and Adventure to a new realm.

Separate plans are begun to reach out to the myriad alien species that can be found around distant stars but this story will focus on the events upon the surface of a single pale blue dot orbiting a rather ordinary star and the events to follow there.
