Metamorphosis: Code Zero

Act I: Ideals

"You're kidding me," Alexis said, carrying files of man known viruses, "making a man made virus? Are you trying to act god?" She looks at her brother, Denas, with cold dead eyes, with one hand clutched onto Denas's lad coat. "Can we just calm down?" I said, with fear in my eyes. I started shaking as Alexis, with a look of a psycho, stomping towards me. "Calm down? Calm down?!" Alexis stomps on my foot, "You want me to calm down to this insane idea?! Matt, we're talking about a virus that could spread by saliva and killing millions, even billions of people around the world turning them into things that live on human meat!" Alexis throws the files at Denas, causing him to have a black eye. "Dammit sister," he says as he picks up the files. "Do you know that us humans are boring, living on choices that other animals don't have? We always choose what we eat, we choose what we drink, we choose what to wear, we choose what we do to live. I'm fucking tired of choices. I want to make a new species, something that can destroy humanity and get rid of choices. We, no they will live a predetermined life where, like animals, no choices are made. They will all eat the same, they will all drink the same, they'll look the same, and they'll all live the same. Do you not know how easy life would be as these creatures?"

"You sick bastard." Alexis said, "This idea will make you worse than Hitler. Changing the dominant species because of laziness of everyday choices is tyrannical! Plus there's flaws in your idea. Tell me dear brother, how will these species eat after the virus has contaminated all of the human race? And what about us? Are you going to infect us with this virus?"

"Precisely dear sister. First, i'll make these species have the ability to eat plant life after the destruction of humanity via adaptation. And for us? I'll make a special virus for us to transform into the new species and keep our minds. Thus making us 'pack leaders' to the species. It's that simple, dear sister."

"You're sick," Alexis said, looking petrified, "You're a monster. I want no part of this madness. This idea will kill you brother. When it does, then the whole world will fall with you." She grabs the files out of his hand and tossed them into the incinerator. She storms out of the room, with me following.
