Description:

Before the silence of space, before the Bounty-II, before the Infection had a name, there were children growing up beneath fluorescent lights and impossible expectations.

Raised within the Space Protector Program, the next generation of cadets spend their childhood chasing dreams through crowded hangars, training halls, and artificial gardens built to soften a world of steel. Friendships form in maintenance tunnels and classrooms. Rivalries bloom beside launchpads. Small moments—bike rides, bruised knuckles, whispered fears, flowers tucked into metal corners—quietly shape the people they will become.

But even during the safest years of the station, something is wrong beneath the surface.

Wired Wildflowers is a character-driven prequel anthology to Shadows Among Stars, following the childhood and early teenage years of the future Bounty-II crew and those around them. Through bittersweet friendships, quiet tragedies, and the slow loss of innocence, the series explores how love, fear, grief, and loyalty shaped the generation that would one day be sent into the dark.
