Ethan and Kai aren't the best-matched partners for their floundering quantum-cooling startup, but a chance experiment might just save their company before it goes under. That is, until they find it has opened a door to another world. An orphaned girl with a strange disease (and an affinity for illegal gene editing) along with an outcast band of technology recyclers may be their only allies in stopping the CEO of Howell Industries from enslaving us all. Pushing against each other and their own limitations, they'll fight to find a way back home, and might just unlock the greatest human discovery of all time along the way. This is a work in progress. Any and all feedback is appreciated. New chapters coming soon!
