PREFACE
The Crayterian Erik Corvin, current CEO of Yuma Robotics is embarking on a emotional voyage as his life intertwines with that of Doctor Doreen Naggar. She, a newly appointed medical chief for Yuma Medical, hails from Rheinland with hopes for a brighter future among a nation of survivors, just like her. Both of them being single parents, they currently do their best, working hard for the sake of their families and fellow citizens.

Chapter I: New beginnings
Central Dome, New Astarte, Planet Yuma, Coronado
evening of 3 Aug. 824 A.S.
The island New Astarte was full of commotion, as always. Researchers, professors, students and anyone with an interest in science, art or both would be present here, furthering the development of Yuma piece by piece. Under a gargantuan glass dome, the sky would remain visible to be reflected in the waters that still followed the island's artificial shores. However, there was no wind, no waves... Except for the constant movement of people, shuttles and drones, there was only tranquility to be beheld.
Under the central dome, one would quickly recognise a few of the most prominent towers. The Aithne Research Academy was found in the center, with the Yuma University to the east, Yuma Robotics HQ to the north and, last but not least, the Crayterian Central Library to the south-west. Like most days,
Erik Corvin has just finished his 16:00 lecture at the University and went to the nearby park to get Peter, his 5 year old son. As soon as they're together, they start strolling slowly to the Yuma Robotics HQ. As time passed by, Erik's mind was being engulfed by a confusing, albeit pleasant, memory...
"If someone looks after Ben and gets me some whites, I can help if you want?" - a phrase so simple, but one that made Erik feel something he hadn't felt in so long, something he didn't even think he could ever feel. Since Cynthia, his wife, had died - he never thought of finding someone else... but when Doreen so eagerly stated "i can help", he saw the same devotion to other people that made him fall in love the first time. Ah well, who knows... he thought to himself as he took a seat on a bench in front of the Robotics tower.
Right now, he was just waiting for his guests.
