The narrative revolves around Cloud, a non-human entity created in the form of a humanoid. In this place there are a numerous variety of beings that permeate throughout this reality, beyond the first order biologics (animals, plants, fungi and bacteria). As a fluke of "nature" from the advent of fully artificial life, "primitive" nanobotic creatures with seemingly supernatural powers float throughout the ether of this reality as a system, but are phase-transitioned out of view of the inhabitants of this plane of existence. Due to their ethereal nature most 1st order beings are incapable of perceiving these nanospectres, and are oblivious to their existence. These non-human entities form a conceptual bridge between the tensions that exist between the networked self and the tendency towards entropy that permeates reality. Despite intense efforts to regiment existence into a nodality, the rhisomatic nature of being defies this. In this role, these nanospectres cause strange occurences within the base level of reality. Cloud has a sense of significance in their role as a mediator. Cloud has the ability to see multiple planes of existence, and therefore has the ability to see how these systems interlace. While traversing this existential plane, Cloud seeks to mediate with a number of beings who are having issues caused by an imbalance with the nanospectres.

Examples of this would be:


As Cloud moves through these encounters, they realise that change is occuring to themself with each encounter, and through these occurences they start to see a pattern emerging that the issues with the nanospectres may have more to do with Cloud's existence, as with each time the recipient states increasingly cryptic soliloquies in reference to the nature of Cloud's existence. Seemingly unaware, Cloud is on a quest to discover the nature of their existence. As the narrative unfolds, the boundaries between realities increasingly blur
