The Age of Jade

“Three generations ago, it appeared. The herald of a new age of humanity, visage once believed equally sacred and profane. We know it came from somewhere else, deep within outer space. A jade statue of impossible scale and form, a satellite rivaling the size of our moon, on a collision course with our world.

Much was tried in our efforts to divert it, but as measured minds failed, desperate voices began to be heard. The decision was made to utilize our collective might in a last attempt at changing its trajectory, to avert the impending calamity.

We failed. The statue shattered, its countless pieces raining down across the world, now entombed within the very soil of our planet. Infecting it.

From its shards, alien flora and fauna sprouted, overtaking all in its path. Changing it.

Today, the infestation has spread beyond control, touching every corner of the planet. While initially steadfast, humanity soon descended into tribalism, with roving groups of scavengers like us the only ones still able to survive the barren straits.”
