Periapsis

Periapsis is the sixteenth story mission of Infested Planet.
== Briefing ==
"We have got a single shot at destroying the alien mind. It has consumed human DNA - that should make it vulnerable to our bioweapons. I will whip up a nasty crossbreed of ebola and anthrax at my lab. If we hit the giant hive quicky, before it can evolve antibodies, we may be able to kill it for good.
There is a catch though. I need a pure clone strain to experiment on - the first clone. I've found it, but I'm afraid that you won't like what it is..." - Doctor Cassander
* Reward upon completion: 80,000 credits

=== Screams From the Deep ===
"And I declared that the dead,
who had already died,
are happier than the living,
who are still alive
But better than both
is the one who has never been born,
who has not seen the evil
that is done under the sun." - General Magnusson
