The Return

Humanity has always looked to the stars for answers, but what if the truth about our origins lies buried beneath the Earth itself? When Dr. Jessica Middleton, a renowned xenoarchaeologist, unearths an impossible mineral deep within the planet, she unwittingly sets the stage for humanity's first contact with an ancient alien race. 

The Progenitors, a species claiming to have shaped human evolution, arrive bearing cryptic relics and startling revelations. They offer humanity knowledge of its forgotten past—but at what cost? 

Caught between scientific discovery, political tensions, and the Progenitors' enigmatic motives, Jessica must decide: Will she expose a lie that could shatter global unity, or embrace a fragile hope for a future built on cooperation?
