The story revolves around bizarre broadcasts received from an unknown source, which disrupt communication devices worldwide and lead to a panic among military and scientific authorities. The tale delves into themes of technology, communication, and the possible consequences of future knowledge reaching the present.  The narrative follows Sergeant Bellews, a technician in charge of rehabilitating advanced Mahon-modified machines, as he encounters a series of strange broadcasts that hint at a grave future threat to humanity. These signals suggest the potential for intertemporal communication, with one broadcast warning about a deadly mutation of a bacteria that could wipe out half the population. As the story develops, Bellews and a team of scientists work to decipher these ominous communications, ultimately realizing that the broadcasts might come from a perilous agenda rather than a benevolent warning. Tensions rise as they uncover a deceptive threat that could lead to humanity's destruction, forcing them to confront the ethical implications of their technological advancements and the responsibilities that come with them.
