Arch Caldor works for himself as a private postal service. When his father became CEO of a company that builds Platforms (designed to charge vehicles) Arch was left with more money than he can use. Uninterested in most of life, Arch carries out his days traveling all across Talvor delivering packages. The whole world was always open to him, but Arch never gave much thought about what he wanted from life. After being hired by a slightly eccentric, conspiracy-ridden man, Arch begins to realize that maybe the world isn't as peaceful as it's been made out to be. As the days go by, Arch learns that his delivery isn't so much just another job, but a mission to save their world. The computer program that he was hired to deliver was designed to override any system, no matter how complex. In the wrong hands, the program would change the tide of the world.
During his coming of age story, Arch makes his way to NEAST -- the National Exploration Agency of Space Technologies -- to deliver the program so it can be sent back to Earth. On his way he creates new friendships and discovers what it is that he wants from life. All with the same mission, they work together in an adventure of the race against evil in their futuristic world.
For Arch, this is the most important delivery of his life, and the whole world (even if they don't know it) are counting on him to succeed. But as time passes, and with each failed attempt to retrieve the program, the stakes get higher as the corrupt leaders of the world take drastic actions to ensure Prodigy lands in their hands.
Weeks ago I thought it was all a lie. But something inside me told me to go for it anyway. I listened. I'm glad I did. Because otherwise I wouldn't have seen just how messed up our world is.
Prodigy would be able to save billions. But too many people seek to use it as a weapon. Edward was right. If we can't destroy it, Prodigy must leave this planet. Even though the world won't be safe from rising tyrants, it will be safe from Prodigy. And maybe then we'd all have a chance at saving humanity.
Full scale war isn't the answer here. Removing their trump-card is.
