    Summary

    Charlie is a Bio-engineered experiment - or Expie - who was given to Amanda Myers as a service animal, for her work in the study of Extraterrestrial-Biology for inhabitable planets across the Milky Way. Life remained steady for them on the farm she inherited on Earth, until she is approved for a Junior analyst position on Pluto Station; the same station that not only is the origin of Charlie's existence, but also orbits the Gray Planet - the same one Amanda has been studying for years - and she brings him along for the journey. From the moment they landed, Charlie would be forcibly doomed to the near impossible assignment: Reclaim a missing piece of important technology, deep in the cavern systems of the Gray Planet, that had mistakenly been sent down with the mountains of trash sent before it. Charlie is merely one of thousands of Expies and other offshoot species sent down for this hopeless effort. Like those before him, he is not expected to survive.
    Three variables make him unlike those before:
    The first variable is that he's been thoroughly trained by Amanda to survive the most dire situations with the few resources he may find himself with.
    The second variable is a reason to return.
    The third is Her.

    Summary

    Living beings are intrinsically bound to instinct.

    Noah's Arc Academy is an acclaimed boarding school for both carnivore and herbivore alike. It is in these training grounds for society's brightest that one begins to make realizations, compromises, and new insights.

    At the top of the school's political hierarchy are the student council members. Led by the president Hafsa, an ambitious serval who aims to be the school's most popular animal, and vice president Desmond, a Jacob sheep with a disagreeable personality and a heart set on total domination.

    Ambition, popularity, power, acceptance, romance, facades, urges... In this society controlled by instinct, one must choose what mask to wear. It is up to these young animals to decide how to navigate the increasingly uncertain issues of society. If they even have a choice at all.

    Summary

    Living beings are intrinsically bound to instinct.

    Trouble is brewing in Noah's Arc Academy. Tension between carnivores and herbivores has never been worse, and at the center of it is a radical group of students who wishes to completely remove carnivores from the school. Worse yet, the arrival of a frightening new transfer student turns the situation even more volatile.

    It's up to the student council to fix this. But with President Hafsa the serval and Vice President Desmond the sheep struggling with their own feelings towards each other, the path towards harmony seems impossibly steep.

    Ambition, popularity, power, acceptance, romance, facades, urges... In this society controlled by instinct, one must choose what mask to wear. It is up to these young animals to decide how to navigate the increasingly uncertain issues of society. If they even have a choice at all.
