Zella Ki’o, a brilliant but underachieving M-Billu student at Singko Academy, finds her world turned upside down when she reluctantly joins the Space Hoppers Club to boost her grades and impress her crush, Opal. Known for her popular snack review show but struggling with real-world social interactions, Zella is thrust into the spotlight when the club is invited to present at the prestigious Tego Base Symposium. As she grapples with her new responsibilities and the dynamics of the eclectic club members – including the mischievous Zero, the enthusiastic Perun, and the enigmatic Davs – Zella discovers that there’s more to the symposium than meets the eye.

The Space Hoppers Club’s adventure takes an unexpected turn when their teacher, Sileea Siiptar, is unable to join them on the expedition. Zella finds herself leading the presentation and navigating the complex world of interstellar archaeology. As the club delves deeper into the mysteries of Tego Base, they uncover secrets that could reshape their understanding of the universe. With the help of HAMJO, their multi-functional teacher-bot with a hidden agenda, and MEEJO, the academy’s cryptic AI librarian, Zella and her friends must balance their academic pursuits with a growing realization that they’re entangled in something far bigger than a simple field trip.

As tensions rise and dangerous truths come to light, Zella must overcome her self-doubt and learn to trust her abilities and her newfound friends. The Space Hoppers Club’s journey becomes a test of not just their knowledge, but their courage, teamwork, and ingenuity. With the fate of ancient civilizations and the future of interstellar relations hanging in the balance, Zella and her companions find themselves at the heart of a discovery that could change everything they thought they knew about their place in the universe.
