On the [[mining colony]] [[Callous]], [[Elliot King]] struggles to meet the demands of its governor, [[Teremon]]. The odds are stacked against him, and his options are running low. The world that once promised dreams now offers only despair.
 
A wild [[Ood]] stalks the [[forest]]s, carrying an antiquated phone. The caller promises much – he claims he can change the world – but he always speaks a devastating truth.
 
He is {{Jacobi}} and the Ood will obey him... but to what end?
