(Y/n) bopped her head to the beat of the song that was pouring out of her earphones. She continued rummaging in her locker, trying to clean it before school forced them to go. Last period just ended.
She finished putting her books in order and pulled out her earphones, wrapping them up and placing them in her pocket before closing the locker door. She jumped when she saw a figure leaning on the locker next to hers.
"Oh, Hoseok!" She smiled at him. "What's up? How come you're here? I thought your lockers a bit-"
Hoseok raised a hand to stop her from talking. She shut up and stared at him questioningly. He showed her his mobile screen. She read what was written.
She raised an eyebrow at that and looked at Hoseok, who was giving her a wide smile.
"Where will I find the bunny?" She asked, a smile creeping on her face.
"A little birdie told me he's in the music club," Hoseok said with a smirk. She smirked back.
"Thanks."
She quickly walked to the music club. She had been there only once so she had to ask around for directions but she reached there in five minutes. Jungkook was leaning against the wall next to the door, talking with Jimin. His eyes landed on her and he pushed himself off the wall. She neared him.
"So?"
He smiled knowingly, and pulled out his phone, showing her the screen again.
"Is this some game?" She asked with a smile. The two glaced at each other but didn't reply. "Okay, where's Taehyung-ah?"
"He's in the school park," Jungkook said immediately. She smiled at him.
"Thanks," she was about to leave, but Jimin stopped her. "Hm?"
"Thanks for helping Yoongi-hyung, noona," he said with his pure angel smile. She melted at that.

"Of course, Jimin-ah," she replied. "Anytime. Gotta go, Joonie to catch."
She quickly left for the school grounds.
"She's going to catch a lot more than 'Joonie'."

Taehyung was talking to Yoongi, who seemed quite bored honestly. (Y/n) cleared her throat behind Taehyung, who turned around, a wide grin on his face. He quickly showed her the phone screen.
"Seriously?" She groaned. "Two more? Okay. Thanks for your help, you two."
They smiled in welcome and she ran all the way to their homeroom class.

"Jin!" She heaved out in relief, panting as she skidded near the door. He looked shocked at her entrance. "Found you. Okay, please tell me this is the last."
Jin nodded in reassurance. He flipped up his phone to show her the last message.
"Well, here goes nothing!"

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/
