Welcome to Viridia. It's the 26th Century, and humanity has advanced into space. Alandra, a clone educated in a mimicry of 21st century culture, awakens from her cloning pod. She is part of the Viridian colony created with a mission: to build a Warp Gate and connect back to the human network hub in the Sol System and thus turn Viridia into humanity's farthest-from-the-cradle colony. Struggling with her own cultural latency, she is caught unprepared when a disastrous bioclasm strikes, infecting her - and a minority of the colony's inhabitants - with alien genetic symbiotes, metamorphosing them into something inhuman. Clinging to her understanding of humanity, she must now struggle against the preconceived notions of who - or what - she is, all the while navigating an unfamiliar world. A world that is under no obligation to make sense to the aliens from beyond the stars.
