Speculative Fiction & Affordance Checklist

In a land not unlike our own, the humanoid populations were rapidly shrinking due to the diminishing of their natural resources – they had altered their planet’s atmosphere until it was unsuitable for their own metabolic processes. The planet itself was beyond reparations, reciprocating the treatment it received on those who dare to still inhabit it. Where else would they go?

Rather than finding a neighboring celestial being to begin their cycle of use again, the population of Keerotera explored what was left of their home to discover that the ecosystems were fully evolving to survive the new conditions.

By will of some God, the planet has forgiven those upon it for their abuse, imagined many of the inhabitants, observing the strange plants that were appearing rather frantically where an agricultural crop once was harvested. Though they weren’t exactly saved how they anticipated, as the plants themselves were never the true abusers.

The inhabitants began to collect a few plants as study specimen, which would later result in a genetic replication of the plant’s evolved immune system to be a savoir to Keerotera’s humanoid population. The immune system injection is now a requirement for all the inhabitants who wish to interact in the cities and be part of the community, including Festivals, a religious cultural experience for the Keeroterans. Anyone can opt in at any time, but there is no option to opt out. Those who have not integrated with the new immune system will be isolated to better preserve the health of others and their own.


Public details of the injection are listed below:

Process: Injection of new immune system into the arm. Final dimensions of the implanted system will lie 3 cm inside of the arm and display a 3 cm marking visibly on the skin. It is a permanent procedure.
Healthcare: Metabolic process are completed with what is available in the atmosphere rather than their essential ingredients. Overall health is monitered and maintained constantly by the implanted device.
Community: Visible indication of commitment to the community and its functions.
