If you are in any way offended by this, under 18 years of age, or local laws forbid you from reading this, please leave now. You have been warned Prologue The year was 2075, and the world was prospering. Cures for both AIDS and cancer had been discovered fifty years prior and world hunger had been all but abolished. The concept of Homosexuality was widespread and mostly accepted save for a few radical groups scattered through out the world. The world had become a sort of Utopian society. However, the old saying of "What goes up, must come down" had not lost its effect. With the massive growth of sciences, there also came a massive growth in the economy. With the extra money generated, people have delved into many areas including the privatization of space travel. Gone were the days of 6 day trans-Atlantic pleasure cruises, instead they were replaced with 2 month long luxury trips to the outer ridges of the solar system, and lifetime expeditions onward. On a standard cruise to the rings of Saturn, contact was lost with a Japanese operated ship called the Divine Wind. Some of her crewmembers had come to affectionately call her the Kamikaze. This was ironic, as an event in the near future would align her with the Kamikaze of old. Within a week of losing contact with the Divine Wind, she came into a low earth orbit and started falling to the earth. When the ship first came crashing into the central Iowa, a team was immediately dispatched to investigate the wreckage. The only difference between this crash, and the crashes of airplanes was the presence of an odd black substance. Packing it up into containers, they brought a small sample back to a lab, where thorough testing was conducted upon it. Eventually it was conducted that the substance was a symbiotic being that could enhance human capabilities when bonded. As no differences aside from the beneficial were discovered between the natural human and the bonded host, the symbiotes were distributed throughout the world. By the year 2078 all humans age 18 and over were bonded with a symbiote. There was a downside to this however. The reproduction tended to lean over to the 'overly active' region, and an alarming 96 percent of these babies were male. By the time 2100 rolled around, the world's population had grown to around 25 billion people. The oddest thing about this was the fact that 24.9 out of the 25 were male, and to satisfy their sexual urges they turned to each other. Eventually, the bonded started to so signs of aggressiveness. First they started running off, then forcefully bonding under age people. Eventually, they went full out insane and became mindless puppets that only lived to multiply. The worst part about this is that the bonded had all gone insane within a matter of hours, all 20 billion of them.
