The Year 3102. Humanity has reached a level of technology that has allowed them to spread through the entire galaxy. For the galactic government, such a large population was very difficult to control. They wanted to invent a system that would control people more directly.

In the far corners of the Milky Way, an expedition of scientists got lost on its way home. What they found was something not made by humans. The ship looked like an organic root. Aliens who lived on it had been dead for a long time. It had hung in space and waited for its moment in time. Technology not of this world.

There was a man who managed to decipher a large part of the technology left behind by the aliens, the genius Alfred Nebula. He developed specialized nanobots that not only knew the human body perfectly and could heal it, but also affect its moods and thoughts. Alfred was horrified by how powerful his invention was, and destroyed the results of his studies and the prototypes of nanobots. However, he did not destroy everything.

Thirty years have since passed, and the danger is closer than ever. Our hero, a stalwart space courier, has just fought off an attack by murderous space pirates. Damages to his ship have forced him to land on Venice Blue, a planet that should be an abandoned rock. He's goal is to get off this [blip] planet ASAP. But he can't help reflect on the recent battle, and the discovery that he is somehow involved in a vast intrigue which can threaten and change the whole of the human race. As much as he feels that the chances of such a thing happening were so cosmically small, he knows that not only is it true, but that he has already been changed by it.
