            The Relationship between Humanity and Science

Humanity, at this point in time, had, have always been, and always will be ignorant about the facts of science. Ironically, it was science itself that had actually allowed humanity to evolve, from mentality and physical appearances to discoveries and usage of said discovery. You see the occasional cars and iPods in the streets of every rich continent, and you think that science has acted like God and blessed you with wonderful things. However, like God, science can do terrible things.

   Humanity, with the help of science, has been unable to find the cure for cancer, which has killed many people throughout time and space. The public are told to donate money to numerous charities, and what happens to that money? It ends up being wasted on weapons of mass destruction, or just every day things.

   Weapons of mass destruction are being created every single day, both by terrorists and the countries that claim to defend the honour of every innocent people. Now you can no longer feel safe in your own country, for fear that your own country might accidentally set one bomb off and wipe out everyone.

   Different kinds of substances are being created, but only for the minor things; hair loss replaces deformity; itchy skin replaces tumours, coughs replace cancer.

   Disgusting, isn’t it?

   No matter how we look at it, humanity ends up becoming its own worst enemy, and soon we might all die because of that, billions and billions of years before we were determined to.

   In fact, there was an incident that occurred many miles, and quite a few months, ago. It had the potential to wipe out humanity in the blink of an eye, to kill everyone, not just the Earth, but throughout the universe, and rule it as the one and only race.

   And humanity helped create this catastrophe.

On one particular day in the journal of mankind, the greatest flaw ever created by man was produced. It was an experiment led by some group of scientists, led by Daniel Griffon, British, and Sarah Terrahman, Canadian. The location was on an abandoned tropical island near Hawaii, nicknamed by the scientists as The Next Step, abbreviated as TNS. The island was a large one, which was useful, since you’ve never seen a research facility in a small location. The reason as to why there was a research facility on an island near Hawaii was because Daniel and Sarah had heard from various unknown sources of an unnatural plant that grew on TNS. This plant was able to absorb a certain matter’s DNA; for example, if the plant were to absorb another plant‘s DNA, it would undergo a metamorphosis and ‘become’ that other plant, albeit with some distinctive characteristics that would separate it from its source material.

   This is why the facility’s island was called The Next Step - if Daniel and Sarah were able to extract the plant’s DNA, they could manipulate it and test it on different materials until they could inject the rest of humanity

   During late April 2011, this unofficial government project went underway. The facility was set up as fast as bolt of lighting, and just about as deadly when you consider the danger of their work. They heard the description of the plant from one of their sources; despite its ability to absorb and genetically fuse with certain matter, it stands out from any other plant by having an extremely pale complexion, to the point where it almost looked grey, and by having several red ring-shaped marks around the base of its body. Its petals were extremely sharp for a plant. One member of the group accidentally nicked his finger whilst examining these petals. It was like a plant with knives.

   The group took ages trying to find this hell-plant, and they unfortunately did.

   May 17th 2011. Hell is just about to break loose.

May 19th 2011

The following has been recovered from The Next Step Project.

Video Recording: TNS Research Facility

Daniel Griffon and Sarah Terrahman are discussing the finding of the plant. They are opposite to each-other on a large metal desk.

The scientist Daniel wields the plant in his hands, which is cased in a plastic, circular container. Sarah has her eyes on both Daniel and the plant.   

DANIEL: If this is the plant, then we’ve made the greatest scientific discovery since electricity. No, no. The greatest scientific discovery ever.

SARAH: I can’t wait to study it. Who knows how it operates. A dissection will tell use everything.

DANIEL: Dissection? Don’t tell me you plan to ruin this facility by cutting it open? All the funds raised into finding this marvelous thing will be wasted. I want to keep it alive. Something this beautiful isn’t supposed to be autopsied. No. No, it wouldn’t be right. We’ll take a cutling of it and wait for that to grow. We’ll dissect the cutling, not the source.

SARAH: Daniel, why? We don’t know what this plant has absorbed. It’s not like we can take the cutling and just randomly toss it about with whatever.

Besides, according to what I’ve heard, those sources say that this plant can impregnate another plant with some form of virus that carries its genetic structure. Give it a couple of hours and the host pant is dead when its DNA is slowly absorbed by the virus. The virus, with the original DNA and the host’s, creates a new body that takes after the host. It still possesses the unique characteristics – red rings round the body, grey complexion.

Don’t you see? This is an opportunity to create clones of this thing by infecting different substances; animals, plants, ocean life, you name it.

DANIEL: Okay. I want to experiment it with a human.

SARAH: What? Why would you want to? We have no idea what it could do.

DANIEL: But we’re planning to help people with it, so can’t we use humans?

SARAH: It’s immoral. We can’t take an innocent life just to see if it’s a success or not.

DANIEL: You ignorant woman. You’re setting yourself up. Animals, fish. You said you’d use them. How is that different to what I want?

SARAH: Well…I…

DANIEL: There, I’ve got you. No matter what it is, lives undergo experimentation, so we need to find someone suitable to become a part of this magnificent thing.

SARAH: Daniel, I think you’re becoming obsessed with this thing.

DANIEL: And why not? This can help mankind if we administrated it to people on the market. Imagine it; a world where people can become one with nature by absorbing it.

SARAH: Daniel, we’ve had this plant for two days and you’re already going over the boundaries! I’m sorry, but I’ll have to have you resign from this project.

DANIEL: No, I won’t allow that! This discovery possesses awesome potential, and you’re just going to have me put off this because of that, Sarah?

SARAH: No, it’s because of your ethics.

DANIEL: You need to wizen up, Sarah. We have to experiment with this thing, or else there’ll be nothing to do with it. I’m going to test this thing on myself.

SARAH: No, you’ll die, you freak! Look at you. As soon as you heard about this, you couldn’t wait to wrap your hands round it. If you’d guarantee the success of this plant over your life, then you’re not fit to run this operation. I don’t know why we’re carrying on this conversation. You’ve got brain damage or something, as far as I can tell.

DANIEL: You know, there’s something I forgot to mention about you trying to get rid of me.

SARAH: What?

DANIEL: I know a guy who’s got personal connections to the American government. We’re really close friends, so he’ll try to sway the government over to my side, no matter what you say. You’ll have to stick with me no matter what, or you’ll be the one who walks out the door. Face it, Sarah, you lose. Within the next few weeks, I want you to grow several cutlings of this plant and examine them. Don’t even think about trying to steal the plant. Only I can have it! Only me! Understand?! You cannot have it!!

Daniel is immediately standing up in pure rage with the plant still in his arms.

Sarah walks out of the room with a cold, harsh look on her face.

Daniel puts the plant back on the desk and talks to it.

DANIEL: She doesn’t understand. We’ll be the ultimate life-forms on this planet. I can’t have her getting in my way.

He moves over to the camera and turns it off.
