Plot
Small rocks fall from the sky which, when touched, trigger a latent virus that has always existed in humans and begins mutating them into an alien species. Taking advantage of its hive mentality, the aliens are absolutely dedicated to transforming every human on Earth and do so with alarming swiftness. Only a small group of remaining humans have the medical knowledge to devise antibodies to reverse the effects of the virus.

gollark: Random headcanon: the SXS Musk's AI is actually uploaded Elon Musk.
gollark: The gas dwarf? Why? Solar panels work better closer in, and we're on... Bradbury, right?
gollark: I'm sure the other probe AIs could be interested in collaborating on large-scale power generation.
