She is also an astro-geologist, working with her robot named Z, for the Planetary Science Commission.

Faced with the reality of evolved primitives on a forested moon, Anna begins to question all she has ever believed.

The world is threatened when a headless robotic suit of armor appears out of nowhere and attacks, starting with Knoxville, Tennessee. The UCH mobilizes and sends a small team to thwart its plans. Bark, Snow, and Spark investigate the war zone, only to be attacked as well. As the team of Super-Normals are challenged to the limits utilizing their super-powers to turn back the enemy, the nearly unstoppable armor hits Bark with a strange weapon, and, soon after, something inside him begins to change - he starts to lose his mind. 

The Earth had four fleets to fight the invading enemy. The first fleet valiantly protected earth, but it wasn’t enough. Three fleets would arrive soon and end the threat...but they never came through the wormhole. One ship escaped the massacre, fleeing deep into space while the rest of Earth’s defenses were destroyed. Only the barrier around the planet keeps the enemy from finishing what they started. 

As Bark enrolls as a full-time student of the UCH, he becomes well acquainted with the art of being a hero, as well as making new friends and falling in love. Unfortunately, the plight of the outside world waits for no one, not even a supernormal. And as expected, there are enemies around every corner. Soon, Bark finds himself in great danger as the entire UCH is put at risk of completely being overrun and obliterated by a surprising menace.
