Many decades before earth's resources were exhausted and the human era was over, science succeeded in separating human consciousness from the body, transferring it to a nutrient substrate in order to make it indefinitely durable. On the one hand, this came about from the idea of ​​preserving and passing on the memory of the human species if the planet should recover and create new life at some point.
On the other hand, in times of need one thought of the small but nevertheless conceivable possibility of reactivation through extraterrestrial life forms. With the help of high sophisticated technologies, these could successfully transfer human consciousness back into a body or host, be it mechanical or organic.

Since then, a conservation process has been repeated in a bunker deep in underground where a research laboratory was left behind. Over the centuries evolution has created a single disembodied creature out of the collective consciousness that is still waiting to be found.
