Chapter 0: Prologue I look up into the darkness. It was my tenth birthday when the United-Mars-Colonies solved the genetic code. Genetic defects and hereditary diseases quickly became history. But research didn't stop there. Gene modifications came into fashion and soon the inhabitants of Mars chose their own skin color. But with this limited and garbled gene pool, humans, far from Earth, could no longer reproduce naturally. In order not to die out, they returned. But not as friends. With the Pe
perit-Clones, they took our capitals under their control and replaced the government. To crush the latest riots, they created a new generation: the PEPERIT8. That changed my life. A journalist friend had come across something during his research. On the morning of the great detachment, we met at the border area. Great that it worked out so spontaneously. Sure. About that study... Did you find out anything else? Is everything okay? Nothing is okay. It's about the new ones... Chapter 1: Seven subj
ects Control? Here is a supervisory unit Bravo #4. We have a riot here, it's getting out of control! I report two P7 down and one with a defect. We need reinforcements immediately. The study, we participated in two months ago, turned out to be the origin of everything. It was a research project on DNA-Replication. If you meet the requirements, it makes you rich. That was enough incentive for most. Nowadays you have to do worse for money than selling your genetic code. Good morning! Good morning.
It stings briefly. Your name? Carmina Fontaine. Do you have any genetic modifications? No, I'm regular. Very nice. That’s it. You can go back to the waiting room. Thanks. To me it looks like a nearly equal fight. For the first time. Just a matter of time, I suppose. But there are still too few. Because journalists like you withhold the truth. The censorship is not my fault either. Excuse me, when is that from? This morning. Do you see the Peperit7-Units on the left? Yes. They're going berserk.
This was originally supposed to be just a peaceful demonstration. I had no idea that there were riots. The ctizens are becoming more anxious every day - just like the government. How come, that despite your political attitude, you participate in all of this? Pardon. But I prefer to keep that to myself. As for me, it's not a secret. I have a little daughter. And when she grows up, she should be able to attend the interstellar academy. So you use all the money you get here for your child? At least
that's the plan. I just want to get out of here. Finally away from that blue ball. To Mars? To Titan! Really? There's nothing there. A few colonies, hardly any civilization. That's what makes it so exciting! To be explorers and settlers again. That's what we are made for. And once you're there, you'll be needed. You'll be important. Ladies and gentlemen, today's inspections have been completed. Thank you all for being there. Our research project will only be possible with your help. So I'll see
you next week, and then come prepared because you could see something that may be a shock to you. Chapter 2: Natural selection Good morning - your coffee. Where's the milk? Milk? -I'm sorry.
-Hurry up. Good morning. Initiate operation. Your coffee. Just in time. Another day in paradise. Wake up. Are we in danger? Peperits, form attack line. Hold formation. Waiting for orders. Stay quiet. Is that the test? Is it already starting? At first, we should look for cover. We should definitely stay toge
ther! Fire at will. Why should i trust you? What's that about? We don't even have a clue! We have to act as a group! I don't need your help- Run! Over here! Malfunction Is everything alright? Hey! I can't... I can't... Look, over there! Something is wrong with that one. Let's take a closer look. Seems like easy prey today. Oh, what poor thing. Useless. Well, do I shoot you in the head or do I shoot you in the stomach? What a meatbag. You are wasting time. Move on! Copy that. Make room! There's n
o room! Piss off! Hey! How did you do that? Shush, not that loud. They can hear us! Yes, yes. Give me his gun. I prefer to take it myself. Come on, hand it over! You can't handle it. Stay away and don't come closer! Give me that already! Are you crazy? Let go! You have no idea you dumb bitch. Hands off! Hey, stay alert. They can't defend themselves anyway, these poor pigs. You can't know that. Someday someone will be smarter than us. Nonsense. They haven't got that far yet. The last time I had f
ive kills. Not bad. But I have a feeling that they are getting more creative. Or maybe we start rusting. Stop. This one belongs to us. How could this have happend? Patron? We've got a problem here. Deactivate subject? Yes Now, the result is certain. We are very satisfied. You are impressive, Ms. Fontaine. Thanks. But that won't be published, right? Yes of course. Everything is strictly confidential. But that was not real, right? I probably don't have to tell you how confidential it was, what you
were allowed to see today. Or what I would be forced to do if one of you misused my trust. Well then thank you all for your cooperative participation in our study. Especially you, Ms. Fontaine. This will restore the peace in the streets. Take that into development. Chapter 3: Reincarnation Don't get too close to me!
