Now, a century later, human beings might not be what they once were, but at least they're no longer trying to eat everyone. Mostly.

The Krakau came to Earth in the year 2104. By 2105, humanity had been reduced to shambling, feral monsters.

Four months since she and her team of hygiene and sanitation specialists stole the EMCS Pufferfish and stopped a bioterrorism attack against the Krakau homeworld. Four months since she set out to find proof of what really happened on Earth all those years ago.
