The year is 2486; 200 years ago, a virulent bioweapon left the ecosystem on the precipice of collapse. As scientists attempt to restore millions of years of evolutionary progress, humans must derive all their resources from bacteria - eating has been reduced to consuming synthesized proteins and carbohydrates, and oxygen is produced entirely by cyanobacteria. Elsewhere, on Xenox - a planet where unique and mysterious conditions produce cheese in the planet's crust - poor conditions and abuse from a corrupt security organization leave miners on the verge of rebellion. Meanwhile, a mysterious disease known only as Cheesothelioma ravages the population.
