Season One Episode 1: Origin of Exposure

## Synopsis for "Origin of Exposure"

### (Beginning)

In 1607, following the establishment of the 13 Colonies, blue cosmic energy forms a bond with a butterfly. When a child and his mother see the Butterfly, it begins to grow and fade away, earning the name "Butterfly Effect."

Later, a black figure with stars wreaked havoc in some areas and compelled the majority of people to release all of their negativity, until the Butterfly Effect defeated it once more, resulting in the Effects ascending into space. During the space battle, the Butterfly Effect traps the Negative Effect inside a meteor and propels it away, leaving the Negative Effect to drift away. Following that, the Butterfly Effect descends upon Earth to protect it from the Negative Effect's eventual reappearance.

### Vella, Reyx, and Ma'Lora

Later in the 1980s and 1990s, an extraterrestrial mothership travels across space with a small army led by the commander and her two lieutenants. While exploring space, the alien leader Vella seeks to establish peace with all planets she discovers. If the planet lacks life, Vella establishes it, increasing the amount of territory available to her species if the world dies. If peace is not an option for an already inhabited world, she has her army ready to fight off any species that opposes her conquest goal. Vella and her troops have explored many galaxies, as most worlds were lifeless and needed colonization. On one planet, there is a meteor full of cosmic energy and resembling stars. When Vella goes to investigate, a starry cosmic ball; the Negative Effect slams into Vella's chest, sending her flying back, and knocking her out.

As the Negative Effect briefly gains possession of Vella, a vision of Earth and the Butterfly Effect occurs during the Negative Effect's takeover. As Vella regains consciousness, she is confused by what she saw, and the voices of Ma'Lora and Reyx, as well as the distant voices of the other soldiers, grow louder. Vella wakes and arises as her appearance has changed, while also gaining the Negative Effect's cosmic abilities. Vella's subordinate Ma'Lora asks in their foreign language if she's okay. walks to the ship, Vella responds to Ma'Lora and Reyx, telling them she is OK and that it is time to leave as she walks to the ship. Walking entering the control or navigation room dressed in a new outfit, Vella starts navigating the spacecraft to Earth, despite not knowing where it is and being a long way away. In her renewed interest in Earth and the Butterfly Effect, she may skip planets for years. Because Vella evaded the Negative Effect's mind control, the Negative Effect is forced to take up residence in Vella.

### (In the 1980's and 1990's)

Meanwhile, in another galaxy of the universe, the solar system; not Earth, but similar and has life similar to Earth's humans, a natural, primal, cosmic energy elemental force is discovered by a group of astronauts in a desert-like environment. Exposed, Luciana receives the most energy exposure, giving her more power than the others, and knocking the Ancestors out.

Luciana, the first to awaken, stands with her back to the other unconscious Ancestors, peering out over the desert horizon, viewing the city from afar The other Ancestors begin to reawaken after the absorbed energy knocked them out. Confused, the Ancestors ask what happened. Luciana responds stating and pointing out that they're finally awake and tells the Ancestors that she has no idea what happened. Rather than waiting, wondering what happened, the Ancestors begin to travel back to their ship.

### Ancestors at the Hospital and the Discovering of Their Powers

Later, in a medical bay, the Ancestors are examined and subjected to tests to determine their vital signs. Everything appears to be normal, except for their heightened senses and physical abilities, so the Ancestors take a break. Weird occurrences linked to their powers, such as items not being as heavy as they used to be, shattering things, etc., lead them to return to the hospital with strange energy readings.

In time, and back on their home planet, the Ancestors would deal with their city's corruption and help safeguard their people from danger, whether it was from terrorists or outsiders, gaining an advantage and winning battles. Their accomplishment made the Ancestors the city's royal family, with Luciana as queen due to greater strengths and leadership, and the other Ancestors as her lieutenants and colleagues.

### Vella vs Ancestors

Vella appears on The Ancestors' world when they have dinner at their largely rectangular table. Upon seeing the mothership and interrupting their meal, the Ancestors prepare to confront the alien. As the Ancestors approach Vella, Vella stands at the ship's entrance, accompanied by Reyx and Ma'Lora. Luciana asks who she is, and Vella replies in the Ancestors language, introducing herself to Luciana and the Ancestors. Following this, Luciana declines Vella's affiliation since Vella seeks leadership and command of the alliance, stating that "If you leave us alone, we'll leave you alone." Dissatisfied with the response, Vella invades, forcing everyone to flee for a week until the Ancestors can effectively counterattack.

After a week of being under Vella's control and settled, the Ancestors have a plan to defeat Vella. The Ancestors uncover the situation and begin removing aliens one by one, stealthy. When there are no more aliens in the vicinity, the Ancestors all line up in front of Vella, facing her. Vella sends Reyx and Ma'Lora in front of the Ancestors first, who both utilize their particular tattoos to overcome the Ancestors, while Vella uses her Negative Effect abilities to achieve the same despite only having three versus ten.

Vella takes up Brenna's scythe as she limps away and retreats to heal while the Ancestors are down. With Vella healing and in poor health, Reyx takes leadership of Vella's troops, declaring that there are other worlds to explore. Ma'Lora opposes leaving the planet, but Reyx insists on doing so anyways.

### The Ancestors Recovery

After recovering, the Ancestors try to figure out their next move. So, when the other Ancestors decide to follow Vella, they try to pressure Luciana and Raquel into joining them, arguing that "the more the merrier!" With Luciana being the strongest, more strength equals better chances. Given Luciana and Raquel's reluctance, the other Ancestors decide that they're going to steal Luciana and Raquel's abilities before leaving the planet to find the source of their power, while Luciana and Raquel escape, hiding for days.

### The Scepters

While in the hideout, Luciana divides her power into two scepters while discussing the plan to leave their planet with Raquel. Because Raquel has supported Luciana and rebelled against the Ancestors, Luciana resolves to support Raquel in anything she needs. Luciana gives Raquel a scepter, both with unknown names, as a protection gift before leaving for Earth. The user may customize the scepters' color. Raquel selects blue and urges Luciana to do something for her child to have a normal life, if she ever has one. Luciana has the child's powers and mental condition be undetectable from the Ancestors, limiting easy monitoring. But even if the Ancestors can't find the kid, the child can find them.

Skipping to a scene in which Raquel and Luciana board the spacecraft, power it up, and take off towards Earth in a rocket. The ship departs in front of adjacent cities, and  the Ancestors. The Ancestors sense Raquel and Luciana's power fading as the ship leaves and conclude Raquel and Luciana are on board. The Ancestors race to get aboard a 2nd ship and carefully follow the trail of Raquel's power to surprise them.

### Years After Raquel and Luciana's Depart from Home

It takes Raquel a few years to reach Earth, while The Ancestors lose sight of her and decide to explore other worlds in quest of resources and power.

### Raquel living on Earth

Raquel maintains a distinct life in Las Colinas, Texas, away from Luciana, who is in Albuquerque, New Mexico where their Ancestor ship landed, avoiding the Ancestors finding both of them at the same time, while Raquel falls in love with a Salvadoran man as The Ancestors pursue Raquel, Luciana and Vella.

### (2003) 2 Years After the Birth of Scarlette

The Ancestors arrive on Earth unaware that Raquel is on this planet. It's either Raquel's or Luciana's scepter energy that they feel when they land on Earth and fly over America while already having flown over other parts of the planet. The Ancestors swiftly find her in Las Colinas. While Raquel is playing with her daughter Scarlette, a familiar energy feeling appears. Contacting Luciana, who is in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Raquel notifies her about the Ancestors' presence. Raquel and her family attempt to exit through the front door, where an Ancestor is waiting, so they try the backdoor and run into another. The Ancestors approach, surrounding and trapping Raquel and her family. Raquel is invited back to the Ancestors' quest for power and revenge against Vella, unknowing that Luciana has seized part of Raquel's powers. Upon refusal, the Ancestors attack Raquel and her family. While Raquel fights back as the home is being destroyed, David is followed and murdered by one of the Ancestors since there are eight Ancestors opposed to one, Raquel alone.

At the conclusion of the battle, Raquel takes the scepter orb and slams it into the ground, releasing a gas that puts the Ancestors to sleep without affecting her or Scarlette, possibly because the scepter is attuned to their DNA. Raquel then leaves their bodies on the floor of the residence while she takes Scarlette to the hospital.

### Raquel and the hospital

Raquel is at the hospital to see a nurse; a friend who works there. Raquel's trusted friend, Evangeline Blanco is already aware of the Ancestors and Raquel's past, while Raquel informs Evangeline of her family's presence on Earth and David's death. Raquel asks Evangeline to look after Scarlette and to take the scepter, which she will give to Scarlette when she reaches a certain age if needed, telling Evangeline that "Scarlette will need to know what's coming her way. She needs to be able to protect herself… and you if it comes to it. And while protecting you, you can protect her; protect each other." Evangeline agrees and noticing Raquel more hurt than she truly seems, Evangeline tries to get Raquel some help to heal, herding Raquel into a room so she can attempt to save her, but Raquel does not survive within the next few minutes.

### Evangeline getting rid of the Ancestors' Bodies

Evangeline arrives at Raquel's home and sees the Ancestors' bodies on the floor. She calls a number Raquel gave her to contact Luciana, who is already on her way after being contacted by Raquel earlier. When Evangeline tells Luciana that Raquel didn't make it, Luciana becomes enraged.

### Luciana and the Ancestors

Later, Luciana has each Ancestor laid on each other in her van, then drives away with them. Instead of killing the Ancestors in their coma for killing Raquel, Luciana has a safehouse hideout that she has along with where she stores the Ancestors in sleeping tubes of the ship she left her home planet in.
