It is the year 2081.

Humanity has developed as fast as it did in the 20th century in the last 50 years. After a long phase of denial on climate change, fortunately they came together and took action. By now, a utopia has come to be what some call the sunburn. Cities are greener than ever, with plants grown on roofs and vertical gardens; solar panels provide all the energy needed and more; orbiting mirrors orbit the sun's rays away from the earth, thus preventing the absorption of infrared radiation into the atmosphere and the further rise in global temperature.

Humanity, or at least the vast majority of it, is flourishing.

However, the whole adaptation to climate change is only a carefully maintained balance - a cosmic litter from a meteor cloud called the Persians showed this system how vulnerable this system can be. The OCM-18 orbital mirror navigation system has been damaged, and the MM1 space station, which monitors in-orbit mirrors, has declared a crisis situation and sent out a repair team, whose fast action now depends a lot. In just four hours, the sun's rays hit this mirror, and if the angle is not right, the atmosphere absorbs enough infrared radiation to cross the tipping point and restart the chain of disasters on Earth.
