She, along with Schafer and Cassie, are focusing on finding out what really happened to Amy at the Homecoming Incident. So far all they know is that they can't trust the authorities, and to everyone else Amy is officially dead. But Amy isn't dead, she's a prisoner at FCP Headquarters where she's finally begun to form a true friendship with Special Ops agent, Qiana, and her relationship with Oliver is continuing to grow as they spend long hours chatting. The more time she spends on base, the more Amy realizes the world at large has no idea that the First Contact Project is not at all what it seems. While Amy and Qiana investigate the dark events the FCP has been covering up, Oliver flies ever closer to the artifact and the end of his mission. Through everything, Amy strives to stay true to her ideals and treat everyone with kindness, even when it's hard."--Publisher marketing.
