Synopsis: A part of humanity has become "amphibious" which means they are able to leave their bodies at will. They have a reserve of very healthy and good looking bodies which can be used at will, but most of their time they spent as incorporeal happy beings. Those humans who haven't left their bodies consider them deserters.
