"At puberty?!!?" exclaimed Stacy. "You mean I'm some kind of mutant???"
"Why, of course, dear," said Stacy's mother with compassion in her
voice. "Why are you so upset? Nearly 30% of the human race has been
mutated, most in North America, but more and more from Asia and Africa all
the time."
"But Mom, I just don't remember all this... I remember things differently." "Oh, my little girl, don't be afraid. I'll tell you how it began and then maybe you'll remember more. In 1963 the United States military sent a rocket into space with four scientists. While they were on their mission of exploration the U.S. Army was experimenting on a new weapon out near Area 51. Unfortuately the Soviets had a spy in that base and the experiment went horribly worng. Perhaps you remember the names of the leading men; Adams, Munroe, and Banner. Anyway, they all died, but we got the Russian spy." "But what does that have to do with me?" "Let me finish, honey. When the Taurus IV came back to the Earth it was found that the four scientists had contracted some kind of cellular disease. Within five weeks more men and women working in proximity to the ailing scientists contracted the sickness too. They were then shipped to Area 51." "Wouldn't all this be classified, Mom?" "It was... until 1984. You see, my little berry, the Taurus IV brought something back from deep space, and once the Military accidentally put that something in the then contaminated Area 51, well, mutations within the Human species began to increase." "What kind of contamination was it?" "Oh, gamma radiation."
