Prologue

The Hansons have powers, attributed to an anomalous gene. Level 3 anomalies have no powers. Level 2 anomalies have powers, but cannot control them. Level 1 anomalies can control their powers. Sometimes anomalies may never know they have powers, other times the gene might mutate or become triggered.

If mutated, the anomaly's powers become distorted. If triggered, the anomaly is capable of using their powers to the full.

The Hansons are Triggered, along with their friends; Rachel; James and Blake from Boston; Doug, Nate and Carla Connory of the magic troop called The Mystics; and Jo from the band Fair Dinkum. They seem to be outnumbered by the number of Mutants they have met, including their liaison Trinity and her husband Rocky, the ever elusive Z, and the dangerous Gretel, AKA The Goblin. Rachel's brother Dan has also be triggered, but only after his gene began mutating.

Along for the ride are the insect people, Ripples and Twinkles, and Isaac's pet arm, Cuddles, who has a strange fetish with picking Isaac's nose. Taylor also has possession of a Plakita device, used to store, transport, augment and sense telepathic energy.

Despite their recently rudely interrupted 'holiday' on the Ocean Harmony, the Hansons have settled down okay and are continuing their touring.
