    It's nearly 2200, and the StarSeeker cult has become the dominant cultural force. Fire Season now takes up over half the year, and in some places the smoke never clears. Governments and corporations manage civil society with the sole goal to find and train the next generation's geniuses to find a way out of this mess. They operate under the new ethos that every life can be made useful - and people marvel at the technological wonders that come out of this.
    
    Gwythyr Gwin Bwyrdd, a mycologist from the Adar O'r Unlliw territory of Wales, is one such beneficiary of a social system that provides for everyone's needs. With tireless support for their cognitive and behavioral needs, Gwythyr succeeded in their 20s and 30s in breaking the mycelium-animalia communication barrier, and subsequently producing much needed wonder-materials for their employer. By their mid-40s, however, the apocalypse and personal losses have taken quite a toll, and their output has long since dropped. The question of whether Gwythyr has ceased to be useful and ought to be 'retired' - a prospect which certainly does not come with all the supports they've relied on their whole life.
    
    One person still has faith, though - Mildred Wainright, ruthless CEO of Red Rhobi, an American agricultural conglomerate. She has started a new group dedicated to human survival after the apocalypse, and she's certain that Gwythyr can be made to fit the group's needs perfectly.
