So there’s tons of these little pests out in the wild.

And they keep bouncing off of you.

Then one lucky bugger gets in and steals a cell, and starts highjacking it to produce some special proteins and more of itself.

Then he blows up the cell, propelling all his buddies to other cells to do the same.

The special protein are in your blood and go stab your nervous system to keep it awake the whole time, so that you get weaker and your blood police isn’t as reactive.
