Introduction[]
The Flame is a microscopic fungus genetically modified to disassemble carbon molecules. Made with the intent of converting vast quantities of CO2 into other gasses, it was found that the fungus was much more potent than initially anticipated. A local waterline burst, exposing the world to the fungus, which eventually spread across all of Earth, killing all life which remained following humanities departure. Mere days before the complete collapse of life, 1.8 billion people were able to make it off world to Mars, and some to Wintermoor in order to avoid the governance of the UHC (Then known as the UN).
