The Three Acts:
The initial tableaux: Set in 2047, we open with Sponge reminiscing about the disasters that led to the current strongly screwed up Earth. Cities have been largely destroyed and dosed with radiation. Satellites from previous eras fall to Earth now and then; they sometimes land with parts of their technology intact. Captain Ryan Willburn was sent after the latest fall to determine whether any useful technology or data survived the re-entry. After Ryan crashes instead of lands, he meets Tuag, a young mutant woman.
Delineation of conflicts: Sponge and Ryan are part of the Green War front, which opposes the Confederate Central Government, CCG. Just about everyone else is not part of Green War, and would rather shut them down. Colonel Asimov, Major Anderson, and Lobo (leader of a mercenary gang) are out to capture Ryan. Ryan thinks he has evidence from the satellite to bring down the current regime.
Asimov has more in mind than just official duties. He's hired longtime ally Lobo to help him do his extracurricular activities. This involves layers of cover up. Just to make things more fun, the whole area of interaction is laced with some hallucinogen.
Resolution: Look hard. I did not find one. The narration just dried up without any particular conclusion.
