to shed light

Illuminae, n.: those who shed light, the radiant ones.

This morning, Edward Elric thought breaking up with Winry Rockbell was the hardest thing he'd have to do. This afternoon, his planet was invaded.The year is 2575, and two rival megacorporations are at war over a planet that's little more than a speck of ice at the edge of the universe. Ed and Winry--who are barely even on speaking terms--fight their way out by the skin of their teeth, and manage to get on the evacuating fleet...with an enemy warship hot on their heels.And that's the least of their problems. A deadly plague has mutated into something truly monstrous, and the fleet's A.I., which should be protecting them, may actually be their enemy, and no one in charge will tell them what's going on. With time running out and their chance at justice--and more importantly, survival--slipping away, Ed has to hack through a tangled web of documents to get to the truth...but the one person who can help him bring it all to light is the ex-girlfriend he swore he'd never speak to again.So, yeah. It's shaping up to be a spectacular year.
