130 A.S.
Houston residents in the northern hemisphere who happened to look up at exactly
15:34 HST were witness to one of the most historic events in all of human history,
though it's doubtful they knew it at the time. A brief flash, like a meteor streaking
across the sky...and then nothing.
That flash was a small drone leaping across the light years in the blink of an eye. It
was the first successful test of the jump gate system -- and the dawning of a new
age.
