Prologue:
The year is 2094. Earth's Scientists landed on Mars easily.
However, once there, they found a deep red, frozen, mercury like
river. They attempted break chunks of it off with pneumatic drill.
It's whine was stalling, then roared to life, spewing the material
everywhere! However, the scientists did not care, inside of their
cab.
Finally, they get a good-sized chunk of it, and headed
home.
Once there, the scientists discovered that The Red
Material, as it was nicknamed, had a special ability. It could be
injected into a human, and once into the bloodstream (10 or 20
seconds) The person could then be literally immersed in something,
drawing S-video electric paths to themselves.
They named the Red
Material Cerebrium, and it's effects Cereosis.
They marketed it, becoming millionaires. One Industry was especially interested in it.
The video game industry.
