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: A likely story.
gollark: He didn't deny it so he must be. I KNEW IT.
gollark: Are you secretly a member of the Organization of Macroeconomic Safety Instructors?
gollark: Why are you OMSIMattHowell instead of just MattHowell?
gollark: While you *can* queue fake key/char events and thus type things, you don't know what you should type because you can't programmatically see the number. Galaxtone found an exploit where you could make it produce a fixed/known number, which let you automatically type out everything, but I fixed that.
