Story

The year is 2029. Around the world are those awakening to new powers of the mind, estimated to be about 0.016% of the next generation. The Huntley Scientific Research Institute has opened its doors to these young people to take on as students, to research their gifts and aid them in harnessing their strange abilities.

Ziek is a college level student at the institute. His ability is a unique form of synesthesia, whereby he can detect the significance of objects by splashes of colour that appear in his vision. He seeks to continue his easy and comfortable life alongside his friends, but soon discovers they may be caught up in something much larger than they realise.
