Virus – M
The Metalloids
Does a magnet attract any metalloid ?
Mission to Mars
• First manned mission
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/150136/mars_canyon_video/
Discovery of Wooden Fortress
Alien Skeleton
• Discover remains, recording media…
Back to ship
• First officer de-contaminates in shower
• Enters ship
• Removes helmet, dust particles…
• Zoom in – enters mouth, lungs
• Gasps, falls down – zoom in – virus injecting cell, replicates with DNA, expands in cell, explodes – spreads…
• Others see situation, de-con and stay suited.
• Try to revive 1st officer – CPR compressions, mask… watch as mouth turns silver
• Face , then eyes, then metallic scales, shield?
• Eyes open – officer pushes away others, rushes into control room – locks door
Take off
• Ship takes off
• Others try to gain access
• Main char – tears left glove
• Dust particles in air land on finger tip
• Zoom in – cell attack
• Screams, tells med officer to amputate as finger starts to turn silver
• Med officer lasers off hand, and quickly covers with protective cover to ward off further infection.
• Hand falls to ground, completely silver, then turns to liquid mercury and evaporates into a dust cloud – more viruses…
Tape
• Prep for warning to earth
• Try to analyze tape, record of Mars … rewind… see metalloids demise into dust clouds
• See metalloids morphing, merging, absorbing planet’s metal core, magnetic field gone, atmosphere wiped away by solar winds
• See cities of metal being absorbed
• Recording by lone alien of attempts to destroy virus
• Wooden structure last resort, magnetic circulation…
Magnetic fields
• Cleans ship by magnetic field generator
• Some have morphed into ships metal
parts, pen, etc. Collect all metal
possible…
Earth
• Upon landing on earth, metalloid exits control room, pushes aside crew
• Exits ship and security attacks
• Explodes – dust particles everywhere.
• Crew exit and rush to comm station
• Announce pending contamination, wand all to get in not metal air tight protection
• Disable all transports
• Activate magnetic shields to contain particles
• Local panic as more metalloids emerge
• Try various weapons
• Liquid nitrogen, shattered head – taken to secure med lab
Lab
• Attempts to determine virus origin
• Virus defenses
• Liquid mercury seems to trap virus
particles
• Build wooden structures with reverse
magnetic ventilation
• Metalloids inherit human knowledge of
weapons
Morphing
• Metalloids begin to morph into other
metallic structures, and transports, to
spread faster
• Time running out
• Wood structures no match for weapons
Expansion
• Metalloids inherit intelligence
• Start to build their own space transport
Final Solution
• Mercury liquid melts metalloid tissue without explosive spreading
• In analyzing neural-network of metalloid, they un-cover stored matrix? memory of metalloid excursions
• In final destruction of all metalloids and containment of all particles, mission commences to reach back to worlds contaminated by metalloids
Space Travel
• From memories of other species, develop
more advance space travel and venture
forth… sequel city…
