When a struggling graduating student failed his capstone project, he got frustrated and attempted to take his own life. The moment he was about to take a leap, a voice stopped him and handed him a strange box and disappeared. 

As he got home, he opened the box and saw a strange usb device and a set of strange pills. Later he found out that the USB contained inventions from the 20th to 23rd century, and the pills were a nootopic drug. 

With this discovery, his life would soon change from an outcast of the family to the world’s powerful businessman that would create companies that would rival top companies around the world.

The lights in the control room were dim, the way they always were during overnight testing hours. Screens lined the walls in a soft, glowing grid of blue and green—live readouts, telemetry feeds, and diagnostics all humming quietly in sync.


Angel stood with a mug of coffee that had long gone cold, her eyes fixed on TBM Aurora's updated startup sequence rolling in real-time across the central display.


"Telemetry stable," came the quiet voice of the night shift lead. "Cutterhead calibration complete. RPM baseline holding steady."


Matthew stepped into the room, still shrugging into his jacket, hair damp from a rushed morning shower. "Anything abnormal?" he asked, already halfway to her side.


Angel shook her head. "Nothing since 0400. She's clean."
