Novel: The Celestion-5 is set to be humanity's first manned ship to Neptune. For such an important journey, you'd think some care would be put into choosing the crew, but no! It was mostly random selection. Half of the crew are rookies fresh out of high school, and the other half are still absurdly young. This group of assorted goofballs will have to band together to survive the journey to Neptune and back.
Newest Chapter: Emil tries to have a snack, but nearly chokes on a revelation.

“To answer your other question,” Emil stood up and took a closer look at the document with Angelo’s picture on it, “yeah. He does look young. But Rookie said people think he’s younger too, so maybe it runs in the family.”
“He doesn’t look that young, though.”
He had to agree with that. “He doesn’t. But Angelo is really short, skinnier than me, and his eyes are huge. That kinda guy would prolly look young no matter what. Him being shy and sheltered reeeally doesn’t help.” The more he talked, the more he found himself agreeing with Lorenzo. “Okay yeah he does seem weirdly young. But what, are you thinkin’ he might be underaged?”
“Exactly.” Lorenzo nodded.
“Why would a kid wanna sneak into the IF?”
The older Galhardo-Alverez rested his head on his hands. “Maybe he wanted to sabotage the mission. His brother may be in on it too.”
