Aperture Science Invents Mind Control Pathogen

Bio"Hazard Warning!
Written by Marc Whitten, San Francisco, CA
Upon inspection of the transport vehicles used to move the Mind Control Pathogen, it is believed that there is insu#cient containment to reach the stated destination, the CDC, in time before the pathogen begins to activate and leak. All residents of the Atlanta area are urged to stay indoors.

Thirteen years ago, the United States government paid $30 million to a science research facility, Aperture Science, as an incentive to develop pathogens specialized to hijack brainwaves. The company quickly agreed to hasten research and development

in the eld of biology and genetic engineering. US government intentions are not yet clear, but it appears as though they plan to disseminate the pathogen amongst citizens. Not much is known regarding the governments desire for mind control technology.

Early symptoms of the pathogen are said to be muscle paralysis, hazy vision, and memory loss. If you begin experiencing these symptoms, call 911 immediately.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE PATHOGEN: A FIRST LOOK INTO MODERN MEDICINE Dr. James D. Harding, the senior to the tracer, which is located at the biologist at Aperture Science, base of the brain stem. In about 20 to explains the process for controlling 30 minutes, the subject succumbs to the brainwaves of a test subject. The the Pathogen, which then begins to subject is rst injected with a tracer rewire the brain. According to Dr. compound, then given the Pathogen. Harding, the Pathogen can be After initial infection, the Pathogen tailored to deliver the desired travels via the central nervous system information to the subjects brain.

APERTURE SCIENCE INVENTS MIND CONTROL PATHOGEN Last month, Aperture Science completed development of the pathogen and the method used to complete such a process. According to Dr. Lee Carol, samples of the new pathogen are in transport to the CDC. Although a shocking concept, the biologists at Aperture Science claim that the danger of contracting the Pathogen is extremely low without a tracer. A typical subject of the pathogen which is not injected with the tracer experiences no symptoms whatsoever. Ethics debates are sparking controversy regarding the legality of rewiring a persons brain as a kind of punishment for crimes. Whether ethical or not, the US

government will begin testing in January of 2068. This morning the CEO of Aperture Science, Jonathan Milwaukee, spoke with journalists for The Daily Science. In a direct reply to the journalists questions regarding the possible uses of the Pathogen, Milwaukee stated that Aperture Science is neither involved with nor responsible for the uses of the pathogen. He also suggested that the same question be asked of Congress.

WHAT IS A PATHOGEN? A bacterium or virus capable of causing disease is considered a pathogen. Pathogens can be transmitted via sneezing, coughing, air and water particles, touching objects with dirty hands, or infected animals/pets.
