Characters

Estafos

Suraya

Estafos is a brilliant engineer and the inventor of the QUARTYEAR™ Engine that was being tested on the "PARADIS" ship, of which Suraya was the captain.

The ship was fully automated with intricate failsafe systems, which had a failsafe measure for those measures. And all that power wasn't enough to stop the ship from collapsing the space-time, and moving our characters across the universe.​​​​​​​

Spaceship "PARADIS" was plummeting onto the planet's surface, leaving smoke and chemtrails in bizarre formations.

Estafos and Suraya were the only two survivors of a spacecraft that crashed landed on an alien planet. They were testing a new lightspeed engine that warped space and time, but something had gone horribly wrong.
