The Show - NOVA
Its 2120, Liverpool. Where breathable air is currency and the rich live in the top of huge vertical skyscrapers with their gardens blocking the light below. ex-army now salvager contractor Nova has discovered ancient relics beneath worlds that Eden Corp's failed terraforming turned into nightmare worlds.—the technology could produce free air for all, if she can find all the relics which hidden over some of the most dangerous planets.
Short Synopsis: A century ago, EdenCorp saved humanity—or at least the wealthy. Their terraforming technology turned dead worlds into Eden's: Mars bloomed, Titan thrived, the Moon became paradise. When founder-CEO vanished with billions, it seemed like simple greed. Then a whistle-blower came forward with footage and data, Showing acidic predators dissolving survey teams, native life twisted into abominations. The scandal revealed EdenCorp knew that terraforming worked on dead worlds, but living ones became mutated planets. Every time. Their greed for new planets to exploit led to their downfall.
The bankruptcy made all planets "fair game" under the Mining Rights Act. Now five megacorps carve up the colonies while Earth slowly dies. The rich inhabit pristine worlds; the poor mine toxic rocks or hunt salvage on nightmare planets where the air itself breeds mutation.
Nova runs the most dangerous pulls—she has too. Her daughter Naya needs oxygen, but when she discovers ruins beneath a monster world, she uncovers the truth: these ancient structures predate humanity by millions of years. Each structure holds part of a device which could clean air, but the First Ones who built them fled something Evil which was attracted to the technology, They hid on Earth, trying to keep the population primitive and hidden from the evil. The relics could purify Earth's atmosphere, but each activation sends a signal across dimensions, potentially waking something.
Racing against corps who want the relics for profit, Nova must navigate worlds where terraforming and ancient life created impossible horrors, She must find each hidden relic and find the truth behind the First Ones and The Evil,
The Evil still listens, and the First Ones hid for a reason.
