There's a layer under reality called the "void" and Monogon have been tapping into that to create their shit. There are things which live in the void which may have strange abilities and may not all be friendly.In fairness Monogon have been very good at not letting anything go wrong in that regard but a competing company, Gammon, haven't been so careful and in the game Duck Season they let something through. They may have let several somethings through. 

In Boneworks you end up ripping a hole to the void in a bid to make yourself basically immortal and have no idea of what the possible repercussions could be. It is expected that their two upcoming games, both set in the same universe again, will expand on this.

[spoiler]But there's also the strong implication that things would have gone tits-up anyway without your involvement due to the cat and melonbelly poisoning.[/spoiler]
