The conclusion to the cadets’ adventure on S’Eekay II!Genesis Lythe screwed up. When she took charge of a planetary survey simulation exercise on an alien planet, she didn’t know she’d be forced to contend with tech-worshiping aliens silencing her and her teammates who refuse to work together—nor that her teachers wouldn’t be there as a safety net. Now, one of her best friends is injured, and despite Chancellor Kelrec’s presence, the group is no closer to returning to the safety of the U.S.S. Athena.But there may be a way to turn it all around if only Genesis can trust in her team. School is in session, and she intends for everyone to make it out with full marks.
