Plot

In the distant future a planet settled by humans was once all airless moon rock. Human terraforming has transformed the moon into a world of shallow oceans and islands which are the peaks for the former moon craters.

A young girl, Jobe, is sent to Option, the island of learning on the planet, to decide who she must be. When one of the gigantic opaque plasma shields that surround and protect the planet is destroyed, Jobe realizes she must begin her quest that the moonstar has destined for her long ago.

gollark: I don't actually have a "bible" to open up.
gollark: Oh, so you follow the cobble thing around? Right, that's easier than following a *moving* Jesus.
gollark: It looks ugly and it'd get in the way.
gollark: I don't get it, you just randomly put some cobble in the middle of your base? Why?
gollark: So, you just follow some Jesus or other around, sort of thing? Doesn't that get annoying?
