Grissom walked quickly into the break room where he was met with five pairs of inquisitive eyes

"Right, we just got a call to a 419 out in Henderson, apparently it's especially gruesome so I'm going to need the full team out there pronto. As far as we are concerned it's the only crime scene in Vegas tonight, so let's get moving.

That was all the team needed to hear and almost instantly Warrick and Catherine where heading for their cars, shortly followed by Sara, Nick and Greg.

After driving for what seemed an unusually short time the team all arrived at the crime scene simultaneously. They were shocked with the scene that greeted them, there where what seemed like hundreds of officers, none of who looked like they had succeeded in holding onto their most recent meal. Knowing glances passed among the CSI's as they prepared their minds and stomachs for the scene that awaited them. Brass greeted them at the door and explained the usual details,

"A neighbour called it in, she said there was a strange smell coming from the house, we sent a pair of officers to investigate upon arrival they found the body following which the emptied their stomach contents. Are you ready?" After receiving hesitant nods of approval he opened the door and led them inside.

No amount of mental preparation could have equipped the team for the site before them. The body, if you could call it that was in a million pieces, sprayed through out the living room. Small amounts of flesh, blood and bone hung from every area of wall, the ceiling and each piece of furniture and fitting. The stench made even the strongest stomach lurch. Amazingly the entire team manage to hold it together and tame their refluxes.

Grissom wasted no time in handing out assignments; he knew he wasn't the only one who wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"Okay, Cath; you and Warrick can start by photographing and sampling the remains on the walls and ceilings. Sara, Nick; you guys need to get everything from the floor and furniture, collect sample and bag and tag everything, no matter how insignificant it may seem. Greg, you're with me, we need to search the rest of the house. We will sort all the evidence out at the lab later; make sure you separate all the body parts from the other evidence, ready to send to Doc Robbins. Right, get to work everyone, it's going to be a long night."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the team proceeded to process the scene they couldn't help but notice that there was something strange about the remains scattered around the room. None of them seemed to be able shake the bizarre feeling that the remains were glowing. It wasn't that they were luminescence as such more that they seemed unusually bright. The common sense side of their mind managed to over-ride their natural curiosity and they continued their work.

In the end it took the entire team the whole shift to collect and log everything from the scene. After dropping all the evidence off back at the lab to be processed, each CSI proceeded to go to their homes. Where the same scene was played at each of their houses; once they arrived they barely made it to their beds before collapsing into a deep sleep from apparent exhaustion, despite the bright morning sun.

Everyone woke up later that night feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. They continued with their usual routine and got ready before heading to work. Catherine was the last to arrive at work as she had to drop Lindsey off at Nancy's. Her first stop was the Break room ready to get the nights assignments. When she arrived she found Nick and Sara in the middle of a heated argument.

"What were you thinking, you know I'm a vegetarian, why on earth would I want to go out for a steak, think, does that seem at all logical?"

"I wasn't trying to upset you, it just slipped my mind..."

The serenity Catherine had previously being enjoying quickly dissipated due to the irradiation of the argument. She could feel herself getting more and more annoyed.

"God your unbelievable, how can it slip your mind I'm your girlfriend for Gods sake we eat nearly every meal together, when was the last time you saw me eat mea…"

Grissom entered the room just as Catherine had had enough "WILL YOU JUST BE QUIET!" she almost screamed while gesturing dramatically. All of a sudden the refrigerator blew up, causing flaming bits of plastic and metal to scatter around the room.

The loud bang of the explosion made everyone instinctively jump and duck. But it had the most bizarre effect on Sara and Greg. In the instant of the explosion Greg appeared to just vanish for several seconds. Sara also disappeared for a moment before reappearing and not in the walk away and come back sense either.

"What the hell was that?"

"Well Grissom seems to think that it was a trick of the mind due to the extreme exhaustion we are all suffering from but he's having his doubts and really wants to read a book..."

Everyone just stared, mouths open.

"Erm... that's not normal is it?"

Catherine seemed to snap out of her trance during which she had simply been staring at her hands aghast. "What is going on with us?"

"I'm not sure but I think it might be something to do with that crime scene yesterday. I'll go check my books and see what I can find out." With that he quickly exited the break room and headed into the corridor.

"Hey guys, do you think we should follow him?" Warrick piped up.

"Good idea lets go."

Before they even had the chance to stand up Sara vanished again. "Seriously what is up with us?" The rest got up and walked quickly towards Grissom's office. As they reached his office Warrick went to knock on the door, but to his shock knocked it clean off its hinges. The loud sound shocked everyone on the team and cause Catherine to blow up the light above them. "Damn!" Warrick exclaimed. They entered the office and were shocked to find Sara already stood by Grissom's desk.

"Okay everyone needs to calm down, your hearts are all racing a mile a minute." Stated Grissom

"How do you know?"

"I can hear them and its giving me headache… oh damn! That's not normal either!."

With that Grissom pulled a book off the shelf to his left and began to flick through the pages at a rate that alarmed the others. A few seconds later and he was at the last page of the huge volume. He looked up

"Right from what I understand we are suffering from some kind of genetic mutation, which has cause us to develop these powers or sorts." His statement was greeted by looks of shock and confusion.

"What!, That's what it says"

"Whoa, rewind a minute, are you telling me that not only have you just read that entire book in mere seconds, but also that it's telling you that just like that we now have powers."

Catherine's anger was causing her to motion her hands dramatically, an act that was quickly stopped by Warrick grabbing her arms and pinning them against her sides.

"Sorry Cath, but I really don't want you to blow anything else up."

"Yeah, sorry. But the point is; how is that even possible? and how do we make it go away?" Her voice was now much more calm and rational, for some reason Warrick had a bizarrely soothing effect on her, not that she minded.

"Look none of us know what's going on so let's think logically about this and come up with a plan of action." Nick interrupted he felt the situation needed diffusing.

Grissom was the first to respond "That sounds like a good idea, there is no assignments tonight so I suggest we all gather our stuff and head to a more private place and take it from there."

"Fine, how about my house, Lindsey is a Nancy's so the house is empty and we can order some take-out while we try to figure out what is going on."

"Right lets go!" Sara announced
