Type: Research Cooperative
Location: Orbiting Haven
Description: Science over Haven was established when thirty scientists came together on the surface and built a space station they claimed would soon spin an orbit around the planet. At the center of the station, they placed a large telescope, the largest they could build with their resources. When the station was complete, including atmosphere recycling units, all thirty scientists boarded and sealed themselves in.
For nearly eight months, they remained inside their grounded 'space station'. At the end of eight months, citizens who'd grown accustomed to walking past the station on their way to work suddenly realized that it was gone from its resting place. Now, it flies in orbit around Haven, just as the scientists claimed it would, placed there by the scientists' collective telekinetic power.
Once a month, a shuttle leaves the SoH station and lands in Paramount City, Haven's capital. Each time this happens, ten people depart from the shuttle and scatter. Several hours later, they return with hands full of things they've bought. Then, the shuttle returns to the station.
Every time the shuttle lands, a crowd of reporters is there to greet the scientists. They are asked many questions. What does the SoH plan to do? Why did they create the station? Why do they so rarely leave it? Are there children aboard by now? The scientists aboard the shuttle answer very few of the questions. They claim their purpose aboard the station is to rediscover Earth's location, but their giant telescope is directed toward Haven's surface. Yes, there are children aboard and they're just as thrilled with the project as their parents are.
It's still uncertain what exactly this 'project' truly is. Some speculate the SoH is trying to trace how the telekinetic mutations came about and attempting to accelerate the process. All such speculations are unproven.
