A bacteria was found. It was ancient and unknown. It was brought to the lab until it mutated and fled, mysteriously. Panic arose due to fear of a viral consequence. Nothing happened for 15 years - everyone seemed to forget the bacteria. But yet oh yet the bacteria would feel itself in the bodies of human kind. It would form kinship. It would reveal a past that no one thought possible. Altering the past to unmake our own future — that is its power.
