Those are the names of the leading countries in the world, industrially, economically, and monetarily. Next to the countries are the children who host the Moth Cell, a cell believed to have connections with the butterfly's effect disease, but to be honest, what is the butterfly's effect disease anyways?

On December 4, 20XX, a man died naturally at the age of 63. He hadn't any ailments or illnesses detected at that time , but his death was the first in many deaths to begin the butterfly's effect disease. The butterfly's effect disease, abbreviated to BED, is a disease that shortens your lifetime. Currently, the average life expectancy is supposed to be 90 for males and 95 for females, but due to the BED, anyone that carries the disease can expect to live up to their late 50's and early 60's. Though, that is only the beginning of BED. BED also has a twist that gives it it's name.

BED can also trigger other diseases to enter into the host's body. The most common disease BED has triggered is the flu, which isn't that bad at all, but BED can become so bad to the point where stage four cancer is erupting in the host's body. Of course, a good amount of these diseases caused by BED can be treated or even eradicated, but BED always triggers another disease when in times of progress. As of right now, BED is incurable, but it can be halted for a short amount of time.

The Moth Cell, however, could hold the key to curing BED all together. The Moth Cell came into existence the on December 4th as well, with it's first host being Cristiano Garcia from Brazil. The Moth Cell is a navy blue cell found in the back of the brain that is said to increase life expectancy. December 4th 20XX, was also the day Cristiano was born, which is very speculative. Following Cristiano, January 1, Kimiko Hayashibara, another holder of the Moth Cell, was born. Next on February 13, Jessica Grayson was born. March 19-Jin Toyama. April 5- Aurora Patel. May 12- Tia Ogala. June 4- Ann Roy. July 18- Abdu Ali. August 1- Hughes Franklin. September 7- Abraham Thomas. October 15- Maria Martinez. And November 14- Charlie Roux. Coincidentally, they were all born in the six leading countries as well as in seperate months. However how sketchy this information may sound, these twelve children hold the key to finding a cure to BED, and because they do, we have to enter them under special research.

In Boston, Massachusetts, there is a high-tec facility that was specially designed for research on the BED. As of tomorrow, the twelve subjects will be submerged into a simulated world where they will be researched upon, both in reality and in the virtual world. The program has been named "Lepidoptera" by Charles Kingmann, a doctor and researcher on BED. Lepidoptera is the next step in finding the cure to BED, and it cannot fail.

As of right now, I am in a observatory room that is outside of the lunchroom where all twelve of our subjects eat. I, Carolyn Ferguson, am the observer and moderator of the Lepidoptera program. Meaning, I will enter this virtual reality with the children to give them tasks as well as observe what they do. I am solely responsible for their well being and their safety, so I hope that I'll have the strength to take care of twelve children.

They all are just eating in the pairs of people they know. Of course, not everyone speaks the same language, so it's understandable why they would seclude some of the others from eating with their inner circle. However, it's just so cool and weird to me how they're all just in separate groups. For som weird reason, I am intrigued by it.
