Plot
No human alive... no human for at least the last 500 years, has seen the fabled "Earth" in person. It was taken from us, stolen by "THE HIDDEN" - a deadly race from beyond the galaxy who "moved the stars themselves" to hide our home.
Or so... that's how the story goes...
SIX FRIENDS, against the UNIVERSE.
The I.S.V. MERCURY, an Independent Science Vessel, explores the cosmos, free of both the overbearing SCIENCE COUNCIL and the watchful eyes of the UNITED ARMADA war machine.
Whatever the scientists aboard have been working on, they don't want anyone knowing... not even their children:
Eldest BEN and his hot-tempered sister, ALYSSA; SMACK, the hustler; CODY and TRIN, the learned, proper set of twins; and little DANIELLA, orphaned by a SPACE PIRATE assault, then taken in as one of Mercury's own.
