Plot
Jenny Everywhere, having shifted into a universe in which the geniuses of Earth are sent to the Moon's Lunar College of Selene to stifle their intelligence, has devised a plot to overthrow the institution in charge of the Moon. But will she and her friends be able to pull off the plan? Or will the university's guards catch them first?
