A virus has decimated the entire planet’s human population. No treatment or vaccine could be found, and so contraction meant death.

Humanity was forced to seek refuge in hermetically-sealed, self-sustaining bunkers, commonly referred to as “biospheres.” After the world’s power grid failed, survivors managed to establish a global satellite communications network, which allowed them to weave together a digital facsimile of their once thriving, now extinct, way of life.

The disease, however, remained active and continued to spread, despite the survivor’s best intentions and inexhaustible precautions. It was therefore commonplace for connections to become broken.
