Prologue: Is this what you call the start of a crazy adventure?
On an abandoned desert planet in the Milky Way Galaxy, a young boy wiped away the sweat from his brow as he trudged back into his ship, a small wooden box in hand. Some distance behind him was an ancient ruin complex, half-submerged beneath the sands.
It was a small shuttle of basic Mid-Childan design, with only minimal carrying capacity for cargo and passengers and sporting an ininspired paint job, but it was relatively easy to maintain. But most important of all, it had the proper equipment to enable dimensional travel - an absolute necessity for anyone moving about in PTO-controlled space.
Once the boy had made it to his ship and powered on the environmental control systems, he let out a sigh of relief and simply let the cool air wash over him for a few minutes.
"If I'd known about this planet beforehand, I could have planned this around its orbital seasons, but... ah, who am I kidding? This discovery was worth the heat."
Opening the box, he looked down to see a series of twenty-one identical magical crystals, each with a light blue exterior and steadily darkening in color toward the core. "To think, there used to be a civilization in this system... I can't wait to come back with some clansmen and perform some further research!"
Producing a scarlet sphere from a chain around his neck, he then asked, "Raging Heart, would you mind transferring those pictures of the wall writing onto the ship's computer so I can transmit them?"
The jewel responded with a female monotone voice, lighting up with each syllable. [Affirmative. Commencing backup and upload. Upload completed. Beginning dimensional data burst transmission.]
No sooner had the Device said it, than encrypted data packets were hurtling through dimensional space to multiple destinations - to the boy's assorted relatives and professional peers, and to the appropriate office of the Time and Space Administration Bureau.
With this, the young archaeologist brought the rest of his ship's systems online and, on exiting the atmosphere, slipped into dimensional space - completely oblivious to the Jewel Seeds' ominous twinkling.
A few minutes after that, Yuuno Scrya saw a flash of violet electricity, the ship's meager defense systems overloaded, and he blacked out from the energy coursing through his body.
What manner of misfortune has befallen our young hero?! What will happen to the mysterious artifacts he has gathered together?! Will any of the fan-favorite characters appear in the proper first episode?!
