The year is 2031 and the Earth is the Shangri-La people have imagined since the beginning of thought. Everything is perfect. There are no 3rd world countries, there’s no famine and most importantly there are no worries… for the people that is.
In 2027 Gerald Schniffer a German Biologist and modern day Einstein was appointed head of project Bee hive. Project Bee hive was a genetic therapy drug that was to be developed to eradicate HIV and cancer, the only two known untreatable burdens upon man.
After trials of double blind testing, and live rodent trials the drug was deemed safe and 99.9% effective within 2 years of appointing Gerald Schniffer as head of ‘PBH’. The drug was to be released to the public and to be given to patients free of charge at the American government’s expense.
December 21st 2030, the last person with cancer on planet Earth was cured. Project Bee hive successfully cured 1 billion people, 1/10th of the current population. Gerald Schniffer won the noble prize and was hailed as the greatest man of all time.
It took 3 months after Gerald Schniffer’s noble prize for people to question how Schniffer managed to obtain such amazing results in such a short amount of time without using human testing. The media pounced on the story and due to the widespread concern a full scale investigation was carried out.
The investigation found evidence of human testing during the prototype stage of development for PBH, but strangely… No records and no dead bodies. Schniffer confirmed the allegations but insisted no-one died during testing, all subjects were 100% alive and well.
On November 3rd 2031 soviet hackers discovered Intel that suggested Schniffer had been working on PBH since his 20’s in the 1980s but they decided to keep this Intel confidential and to carry out a full scale investigation from inside Russia.
The investigation was successful, PBH was discovered to be a 50 year old investment and 100,000 were accounted dead in the files the investigation managed to uncover. But there was something wrong about the death accounts, they all showed subjects exposed to the early project Bee hive as ‘Overly aggressive with impaired movement and communication’.
As the soviets dug deeper into the investigation, the death toll totalled 523,921 dead. But where could someone get rid of 500,000+ corpses without someone knowing? And how can 500,000 go missing without being missed by anyone? He couldn’t just grow people to use PBH on.... could he?
