R-Gen IV

Post by Historical Archives »

I found an interesting data chip. It talks about the Alliance for Mankind attack on RG-9. This chip is also from about 450 years ago.

RG-9 was one of fifteen orbiting research facilities owned by Genesis Medical. These were full quarantine stations, meaning no one visited and no one left. Actually you could leave, but you had to endure 30 days in a Q-Pod.

A Q-Pod was an orbiting satellite that contained the bare necessities to maintain life. While in the Q-Pod you showered three times a day. First was a visit to the exfoliation room where the epidermis was scrubbed thoroughly followed by a shower in various antibacterial and antiviral fluids.

The diet was designed to flush the system, completely and repeatedly throughout the 30 day period. It was normal for an individual to lose 20% of their body weight during the quarantine.


Free spa day? Sounds a little excessive to me.

Earth was not about to let anything created in the lab loose on Earth if they could help it! Then the unthinkable happened.

RG-9 broke apart in orbit. The Alliance for Mankind claimed responsibility in a statement that was released system wide.

“The abohorant practices by Genesis Medical must not be allowed to continue. Remote from Earth they practice research and development of biological weapons of war that endanger all mankind. While they practice this development far from Earth, what do you think the ultimate goal is? Release of their research on Earth!”

While the Government and Genesis Medical claimed there was nothing nefarious regarding the experiments taking place on RG-9; events on Earth soon showed otherwise.


Ridiculous quarantine and cleaning routine, but nothing dangerous? Yeah, right.

Parts of RG-9 fell onto the populated parts of Africa and Australia. The swath of destruction, running East to West, fell across almost the entirety of Australia and Eastern, Central and Western Africa and the fringes of other African countries as it made landfall.

It appears the rest of the debris and fall out fell into the Atlantic ocean and it did not reach North America.

Two days after land-fall people bagan getting sick. The disease appeared to be some sort of hemorrhagic fever but with a much more rapid onset than anything ever seen before. The infected individual was usually dead within 48 hours of the first symptoms.

Despite the fact the debris had fallen in a specific path across Africa, all of Africa and Australia are included in a Sea and Air quarantine.


Two entire continents quarantined!

R-Gen IV, as the virus was identified, infected the population of these countries with a 97% mortality rate. As the virus spread through Australia and Africa over 800 million died in the first two months.

Authorities said the rapid onset and lethality rate were the only thing that saved the rest of the world.

The results world wide are devastating; individuals of African or Australian descent are ostracized, regardless of how long it had been since they had been to Australia or Africa. Riots broke out around various African communities around the world. People with an “Australian” accent are attacked.

The remainder of the African nations claimed it was a false flag operation to eliminate a large portion of the African population. At the same time they patrolled their borders rigorously and shot anyone attempting to escape the quarantined regions.


You have to love a good conspiracy theory!

Scientists around the world pleaded with Genesis Medical to reveal their research so a cure could be found. They refused on the grounds of proprietary scientific data and the government backed them up. The legal battles began.

Over the next two years Australia became a ghost country as did a central swath of Africa. The survivors of the virus banded together in communities and coped as best they could. The quarantine was in effect for two years before individuals of Global Health Management entered into the quarantine zone and began testing on the survivors.

In a land-mark trial between Genesis Medical and the World Court; Genesis Medical was both found culpable in the release of the virus and was forced to release the research from RG-9. The Alliance for Mankind was tried in abstentia and found guilty as well.

World opinion turned against Genesis Medical and they were forced to shut down their remaining orbital facilities. These were towed inside the orbit of Mercury and set on a trajectory to intersect the sun.


Genesis Medical went bankrupt and faded into obscurity.

Five years after landfall and when no further traces of R-Gen IV could be found. Volunteers were allowed to enter the quarantined areas and, after another six months with no new infections R-Gen IV was declared to be officially over.

Despite research for another three years, no cure was ever found. Every lab and medical facility researching a cure was ordered to destroy all samples of the R-Gen IV they had in their possession and turn all their research records over to Global Health Management.


Speaking of conspiracy theories; why not just destroy the data? Did everyone comply, without backing up the data? What did Global Health Management do with the data? I hope the virus isn’t out there somewhere!
