PREMISE/PLOT
This plot is based on the original game idea from which it came from, which we are not claiming is ours, but only that certain players wanted more "game" to play to than what was being provided. Some ideas have been slightly changed to make it a little bit more original. Other ideas have been completely changed and/or expanded upon.



In the not-so distant future, in consequence of man's disregard for the earth and as an eventual result of extreme population, global warming and destruction of the natural environment, the human species is not the same as it once was. There has been a steadily rising incidence of birth, genetic and reproductive defects which has resulted in greater incidence of genetically-caused gender confusion, genetic reproductive defects such as hermaphroditism and the carrying of the recessive gene, and poor fertility the world over. A leading pharmaceutical company has been researching these problems with the intent to discover the reasons behind these mutations and defects and reverse it before the world's populations are adversely affected. During their research and experimentation a serum is produced and tested on laboratory animals, but the results are devastating, so this particular experiment is discontinued as a failure. The compound that is produced not only kills lab rats, but it changes their genetics in certain cases, which eventually kill off all female rats and sicken many of the males.

It's very unclear what has gone wrong at the time of the experiment, so a new research team is formed to try to learn from the mistake, and possibly correct it with the creation of a better serum. It happens during this research, however, that the plans for creating this serum are stolen, then sold to a government - at this point it doesn't really matter which - and it's turned into a biological weapon of war. Once the serum is released - into waterways, into the food supplies, and into the air - death is eminent for some, all female. The serum mutates itself and begins to spread like wildfire from person to person, untouched by any modern antibiotic, until there is no stopping it and all continents have contracted the "disease". Within months of the initial outbreak, all females of the species will be dead. Certain males, specifically those with the genetic defect of hermaphroditism, are sickened to near death, some of them, weaker and older ones, actually passing on, but miraculously most recover. And strangest of all, it's learned that these males now have forming inside them actual female reproductive tracts.

The world's population is cut down by three-fifths in one swoop. Most of the world's commerce comes to a standstill between the drastic drop in population and the additional problem of the dead, who litter the planet. But most importantly the question remains, how is the human species now to survive? Does this now mean that man can bear his own offspring? Are these men even fertile? The answers to these questions have yet to be seen, but it seems the only hope human beings have rest in the hands, and the bodies, of those who are now apparently capable of bearing children.

Four months has passed since the first deaths have been reported, and there are still women dying in the far reaches of distant lands; it's expected that within another few weeks there won't be a single female left to speak of. No means of protection has worked, no attempts at hiding them away has managed to keep them from contracting the virus and then succumbing to it. Those remaining, the men in positions of power, quickly came together with the top doctors to try to come up with a plan to save the human race, their result being the Eden Project. It's drastic, but then so is the fact that the human race could very well be starting the slow road to extinction if someone doesn't figure something out.

According to the new militaristic government, too, all those regulations and restrictions? All that mandatory "Family Planning"? It's for your own protection, the protection of the child you will create and raise whether you want to or not, and for the good of your fellow man. You have no choice now. You're part of the next experiement now, like it or not. Given the circumstances though, how can you refuse? That's just it. You can't. Long gone are the days when a woman's body was her own. Now a man's body belongs to the military, for the life or death of the species.
