NASE conducted a number of tests during the one month period In which they examined the soil taken from the Venus and these alien spores. Even though numerous test had been performed on the samples brought back from Venus there were no significant discoveries made so interest in these samples was diminishing that is until one scientist took a small metal hammer and crushed one of the spores into a powder he then placed his finger into this powder and tasted it.... There was almost an immediate reaction, his senses became more alert he felt rejuvenated with a more jovial outlook to life. This new sensation lasted for around 20 minutes or so. Interest was renewed in the spore samples. After re-examining the crushed spores they discovered the molecular structure of these spores had reconfigured itself into an unusual pattern which was unexplainable. After several weeks of trying, scientists soon discovered that it was impossible for them to replicate or duplicate these spores. NASE fully understood the commercial value of this new product they named it: "Venusian Extrinsic" they were also aware they had only three bags of this amazing powder so in order to obtain the biggest amount the profit the decision was made that only the wealthy would be able to afford "Venusian Extrinsic."

Before Venusian Extrinsic was revealed to the world it was also discovered that placing it on food, even in beverages would not take away from its extraordinary properties. Once Venusian Extrinsic was revealed to the public it was an immediate hit. Everybody wanted it, presidents, ambassadors, heads of state, emperiors, heads of corporations anyone who could pay the high priced $7000.00 an ounce. They tried Venusian Extrinsic they couldn't get enough of it but as it has always been said "Nothing Lasts Forever." The common people and the poor people could only watch as the wealthy reap the benefits Venusian Extrinsic.

It is now three years later, the year is 2028 suddenly and unexpectedly people were dying, every day people were pouring into hospitals around the world but these were not just ordinary people they were the rich and famous. Doctors were scrambling trying to find what it was that was killing these people because they were unable to help them. As more and more people entered into the hospitals they all had one thing in common they all took "Venusian Extrinsic." After a forensic examination of the corpses they discovered Venusian Extrinsic rearranged their DNA pattern. Apparently there was a three year incubation period before this process would began. Within a matter of six months the majority of the world leaders and the wealthy were all dead. For the first time in a very long time the world was now in the hands of the ordinary and the poor people.
