The Remainder

It was the year 20XX.

Humanity has solved the problem of a Texas-sized trash island in the Pacific by doing what humanity does best - shipping the problem somewhere else.

Now it is the year 21XX.

Humanity has spread across the galaxy and is dealing with a new problem. Multiple Texas-sized trash nebulas cluttering up all major interstellar shipping routes.

The solution? A fleet of automated trash barges gradually sweeping, compacting, and processing the litter.

The Modulus is a spacebound android of unknown origin inadvertently caught in the garbage dragnet. Run from the compactor and strategically leverage the power of chemically induced modes to escape the crushing power of progress.
