Septerra Core: Legacy of The Creator

At the very heart of Septerra lies the Core, a huge Biocomputer. Seven continents at different elevations, each with its own unique people and culture, orbit around the Core. According to an ancient prophecy, Septerra's continents will one day converge and join in orbit toherther on one level - this is the Legacy of Marduk, the Creator. The Chosen, fanatical believers in the supremacy of their own wisdom and technology, impatiently try to force the issue - causing a global catastrophe which threatens the lives of all Septerrans.

Meanwhile, amongst the Junkers, a young woman named Maya gets caught up in the developing maelstrom and soon finds herself confronted by seemingly insurmountable problems. Without help she stands no chance of fulfilling the Prophecy before Septerra perishes. But whom can she trust in a world torn by war and treacherous intrigue - a world on the edge of the abyss?

posthumans - the Underlost supposedly were human, but living on the abundant core energies on the lowest world shell have transformed them to something far beyond humans (eyeless, communicate by radio waves, generally non-human appearance, etc.). Could be considered mutants as well, but they're never spoken of as such, only as somehow disturbingly evolved. Also the Chosen on the highest world shell, but to a much lesser extent.
