Ustean Cong wasnÕt the smartest kid on the block, he was the juvenile male genius on the block. In that particular attribute, he was closely rivaled by Albertyne Lisbon, who lived next door. As a result of winning the POTE Prize (People of the Earth) for Youth Scientific Advancement, both the Lisbon and Cong families had been invited to bring their gifted children to the nationÕs capital to be trained in mind control and scientific mind development. They were part of the SMCAD scheme, (Scientific Mind Control And Development). Ustean and Albertyne had been lucky enough to be among those chosen to represent their country at the Annual Vitrolite Scientific Quantum Leap Convention, held in Bandosia, which city was considered outstanding to the Vitroleans, since it was rainbow coloured at the surface, quite unique on the planet. But what untoward event aboard the Mothership Gasguzzler Galactic bound for Bandosia, Capital City of the planet Vitrolite, threatened to halt the convention?
