During the return of the first manned expedition of planet Mars, MASA enlists the Hueman Corporation to find a cure for an epidemic of human mutation beginning with mission astronaut Steven Thompson on-board the Star Ship Garamond that rapidly spread to other crew members. Mission doctors attempt to remove the containment in an effort to save Thompson's life, unintentionally exposing the entire crew to microbe infestation.
According to MASA Control Operations Commander, Lord Argos Jun in an interview with The Independent:
“The flight doctors claimed they operated to help determine the nature of the problem and begin development of a vaccine. Insanity! The real reason is that they were driven by blind ambition and no common sense whatsoever. They have opened Pandora's Box! The record of containment in space labs like this is horrid. They are taking it upon themselves to control alien-to-human transmission of a very dangerous unknown organism. It’s appallingly irresponsible,” he said.
The Hueman Corporation investigation reveals the reason for the shocking condition of Thompson is an Intelligent Micro-Organism (IMO) brought back from Mars that multiplies in the brain, rewiring the neural connections and causing people to lose control of their minds and bodies, rendering them like puppets of the IMO, acting on commands from the IMO as flesh eating zombies focused on spreading the infecting microbe through biting uninfected victims.
The Hueman Corporation develops the HealthWoumb Suspension Environment that maintains people in a state of suspended animation to stop further alien infection and conversion, and provides a safe environment for 'clean' humans, while Hueman Corp. looks for the antidote to stop the spread of the alien contagion that spreads across Earth like wild fire.
Earth quickly becomes a wasteland, survivors vie for the safety of the newly developed Healthwoumb containment system... The rich buy sanctuary. A lottery is established for the remaining "clean" population.
Heavinol-EX SDRX
(Secure Digital Prescription) is a micro SD card that has Heavinol in it. The technology Sync of the SD card is what alerts The Hueman International Corp to who is using, and how often. The SD card has lot number, and is read by the IED. While it’s not illegal to have black market Heavinol, some people have had visits from “Men in White” letting them know it is not wise to use. If a hacked card is inserted into the IED, Hueman is notified. A character named Ian has hacked Heavinol-EX SDRX SD cards he recycles.
MASA The organism is intelligent, deadly. God help us.

Strange visits from “Men in White"
​
MASA: The IMO jumps from subject to subject...we arnt sure how. The flight doctors claimed they operated to help determine the nature of the problem and begin development of a vaccine. Insanity! They played god & pissed off God! Thompson should have been launched into deep space the moment they saw the signs of morphing and mutation.
​
MASA: IMO quickly turns humans into flesh eating blood sucking zombies.

MASA: Survival of the fittest
A study carried out in a laboratory with the highest security level to prevent accidental escape of microbes, showed that "alien microbial life forms" were able to pass by airborne transmission between laboratory guinea pigs.
Professor Simon Van Nobson, an eminent virologist at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, said it is very likely that some or all of these microbes could pass easily between humans and possess some or all of the highly lethal characteristics of neural Ebola.
“The microbes would probably transmit reasonably well between humans,” Professor Vain-Nobson said. “We don’t know the pathogenicity in humans and hopefully we will never know. But if the case fatality rate was between 0.1 and 20 per cent, and a pandemic affected 500 million people, you could estimate anything between 500,000 to 100 million deaths,” in the first several days he said.
