My story begins with Flor, a rainbow haired college girl who has just landed her dream job as an audiovisual technician at MIT, thus beginning a new and dangerous adventure to lands unknown. As she roams the halls of MIT, she meets students and professors that help her along the way.

She discovers an old notebook in the basements of MIT in a dusty room filled with science fiction gems like Robert Heinlein and Isaac Asimov original copies, books from the 40s and 50s. She discovers it is actually Tesla’s lost notebook with schematics for many of his known inventions and others previously never heard of in the public sector.

She recruits the help of her friends and peers to build a transporting telescope run off of crystals that hone onto the elements of another planet and transport the individual there. She goes on a quest for more crystals and finally has everything for the telescope. She tries it without her friends there first and ends up on a foreign planet, stranded without a way home.

Naidam, an amphibian humanoid alien, finds her and takes her to his world, an isolated oasis cut off from the rest of the planet by the very planet’s core. Long ago, his ancestors, the elite of the race, took most of the intellectuals of the population and all the technology and resources they could muster and built this home in the middle of the planet. It was paradise but for one thing: no usable resources.

They began designing technology to excavate resources from the surface without actually having to go to the surface themselves. The surface dwellers could do nothing to stop it and could only stand by and watch as their planet became bleak and desolate while the elite enjoyed the fruits of their thievery. Eventually the surface became nothing but a desert devoid of almost any life and the inside had to come up with another plan. Because the thieves had not intended to need any resources themselves, their world was all water, with just a few parcels of land left as floating, meager islands. They never go thirsty while the surface dwellers pray for water, pray for a drop of rain or a passing cloud to block the rays of the three suns even for a moment.

Flor arrives to a society on the verge of destruction yet the citizens are unaware as can be. All they see is their paradise. How could anything be wrong in such a beautiful place? Flor tries to tell the others what she has discovered but the rulers of this isolated society attempt to assassinate her. With Naidam’s help, she escapes and finds a way to the surface, where she is rescued by the lizard people, the surface dwellers that have evolved to survive in such a harsh environment. She is greeted by a family with two children, one of which takes a liking to her.

As the three suns finally set, they take her to a bonfire dance party, the ritual event held when such a rare feat of celestial circumstance befell their world. She dances all night and eventually when the little one goes to get her water, she is approached by one of them, Zedor. They spend the night in the dunes, drawing and writing in the sand, teaching each other their languages under the moonlight and stars. This was his world but she felt like a part of it somehow.

Eventually Zedor understands her language and they plot a way to take the planet back. Fortunately, Flor still has her handy dandy Tesla notebook and she delves into it, finding a way to turn the inner dweller’s technology back on themselves. She is the first to have ever found a way to the surface so they go back to where she escaped and excavate into the core of the planet and steal the resource-draining technology. Flor and Zedor return to a world which they now have the power to change. Just as Flor celebrates her friend’s success, she misses home and wonders if she will ever return.

Who shows up to rescue her but Tesla himself. Turns out Tesla left Earth years ago and transported himself to another planet. Thought of himself like a universal vagabond. He sent back the notebook in the feeble attempt to see if humanity had progressed enough for someone to do the same and follow him simply by using his schematics.

Tesla tells Flor that he left Earth because he was being persecuted for his ideas that were only meant to help humanity create a better home for themselves, right on Earth. But greed and capitalism were too powerful of forces for Tesla to battle by himself. He decided to take a break from Earth and come back when the human race was ready to change for the better. Flor doesn’t know what to tell him. Is humanity ready for wireless energy, free electricity for all with no meter? And that’s just the beginning of Tesla’s inventions.
