Chapter One:
------------
It all began on a dim cold day on the bleak East end of the Valles Marineres, Mars. Xiodamat, commander of the Eastern Bio-Warfare Research and Development center was preparing for our next mission. After two rovers and now an incoming sample return craft, the humans of Earth were becoming a serious problem. We could not let them discover us. Their technology was limited, but were were too few to deal with them by force.
So a different approach was needed. We needed to limit their numbers, and keep them distracted. He needed a virus. Thousands of generations ago, when Martian civilization was at it's prime, they had sent influenza to Earth. Sadly that had not killed enough of the pesky Earthlings. More recently HIV. They needed something more overt, more potent. The call for ideas was put out, and it was answered. Ideas ranging from a virus that makes humans implode, to a virus that makes them sterile, and even one to make them vomit blood. These were not good enough. They would show up as an epidemic and the humans would quarantine the affected too quickly. Then one day the idea was settled upon. We would inflict them with a disease that caused them to engage in acts of oral sex ceaselessly, and shun all truly reproductive sex acts.
Ceaselessly the work was carried out to create this super virus. Xiodamat informed the scientists that the sample collection unit was only 3 months away from our world. We would have to have the virus ready and packaged in something the earthlings would not suspect. Soil samples were taken from the various planned landing site options, and they were seeded with the virii. So frantic was the work that even the most stringent safety proceedures were tough to follow. So one day it happened.
Odoamak, lead scientist of lab 36 was handling a specimen containment unit and dropped it. It burst and he thought nothing of it. It was engineered for humans after all, it should not affect martian physiology. Oh how wrong he was! Soon a deep longing developed in the staff. First Kaldakar, one of the female lab technicians began to stroke her stadardic enzyme production glands with her upper set of arms, which released pheramones into the lab, prematurely triggering mating urges out of season. Soon the fighting ensued as the male technicians were overtaken by their native Martian lusts. Odoamak was approaching Kaldakar lustily when Dilandakat, another male chemist approached him with a laser chemo-seperation tool, designed to sever ties between closely bonded cells. Needless to say Odoamak took severe damage to his Limaradic orafice! Following that, Kaldakar viewed Dilandakat as the superior male and began to molest his primary genitalia with her upper set of arms, and fondle his reproductive fluid sack with her lower arms. Soon chaos broke loose as during his climax, Dilandakat sprayed his bright orange reproductive fluids all over the lab, shorting out equipment and impregnating several members of the staff. Worse certainly followed, but such graphic details cannot be discussed here!
Xiodamat ordered a quarantine and soon the event was somewhat under control. The ceaseless mating had caused serious equipment damage and now there were eggs being laid in the lab, some even in the genetic mutation machine! It was with a heavy heart the decision was made to flood the room with 100,000 degree plasma, but it was necessary, as everyone agreed.
After that, safety proceedures were followed much more closely, and soon enough, the virus was ready to go. Now it was just a matter of waiting.
Chapter Two:
------------
Richard Wiley was a hard man, but a fair man. He ran the bio-containment unit of NASA with a steady hand. He knew that incoming samples of Martian soil could hypothetically be dangerous to humans. It was his job to make sure that nothing bad came to pass. What he didn't know was that the martian spy probes knew about this, and had come up with an ingenious solution in the form of a short lived fungus that would eject into the containment room and begin eating at latex and lexan, the primary materials in the path to freedom, and the ultimate goal of a pandemic.
