Well, as promised, I'm moving the story that I started in vmkf...

Subject: Test results

The subjects' results are in - and our fears have been confirmed. The disease is spreading rapidly and none of the medications known to us seem have any effect. We fear that Emphasim Moldium is one of the most powerful viruses we've ever encountered. According to the head of UnicLabs, you're to report back to our HQ in Arizona and begin a new session of tests.

Thank you,
Albert Lexington
Vice-President of UnicLabs Inc.

That was sent to my father two weeks ago - and I haven't seen him since. Some say he might never come back. Some say he's on his way. Even if that was true, I wouldn't be there to wait for him. My name is Andrew Griffin. Yeah, I know - not my favorite name, either. But you should know this: our entire race is in trouble. Nobody is safe anymore. I was there, I saw, and I heard.
And I experienced it.
I was supposed to pass away two days ago, yet I'm still here. Living in a world where no one knows they're in danger. Where nobody paid attention to the signs - the signs that were there.
The signs that I saw. That my father saw.

Before I go rabbling on everything, you need to know one last thing.

We have 72 hours to live.

Yes, you heard right. Emphasim Moldium - AKA Gas Machine - has been spreading.
Rapidly.
Sure, you're probably saying this guy is crazy - and who knows? Maybe I am. But this "crazy" guy has the answers to the end of the world. To the end of the human race. If you want to keep on pretending that everything in your perfect little world is just fine, I suggest you go read Everything's OK. But I suggest you pay attention - there's not much time left - no time left at all.

Emphasim Moldium was first discovered 10 years ago, in Egypt. The U.S. thought it had struck gold; the virus was able to make such powerful soldiers that its army would be the most powerful in the world. But they didn't check on the subjects after a while. As long as they were ten times stronger, they didn't care.
That was their first mistake. They couldn't, no...they wouldn't care about anything else. As the time passed, the soldiers began changing. Strange green spots suddenly appeared in their bodies; covering their entire bodies. Their body temperatures would be over 300 degrees and their eyes...Their eyes were the worst part of all. Their eyes would turn pitch black - and they would lose all senses.
And then they were nothing.

Then there was nothing else to do but burn the files and pretend that nothing had happened.
That was their second mistake.
The subjects' remains weren't correctly disposed of - meaning they never got rid of them properly. Their remains somehow found their way into the biggest cities in the world. Soon everybody kept talking about the "new black fever." If only it had been that, just a fever. But it was worse.
Much worse.
That's when UnicLabs got involved. They began rounding up subjects; normal people. People that would normally see in the market - shopping, planning for tomorrow.
Their plans never happened.
Now the entire world is about to face its biggest thread: Emphasim Moldium.
As past ages were to be defined by country conflicts, this one was to be defined by fear.
Fear that you could be next.

End of chapter one.
