While exploring their world, the conscious viral race discovers the ruined cities and towns of ancient humanity as well as naturally preserved human remains and wonders how their own lives might be connected to this vanished form of existence. When the viral race learns that their microbial ancestors used humanity as a host and were responsible for the downfall of the human species, global power structures of varying sort decide that efforts must be made to resurrect humanity so that the conscious viral race might be absolved of the guilt of a murderous heritage.
