Amazingly, it took almost 6 months to notice that at the beginning of the outbreak, all of the individuals controlled by IRDs were male. It was probably due to the chaos of the war and the resulting sparse communication between countries that hardly any information was shared after the independent outbreaks all over the world. The British research company U-Lab, led by leading genomics and molecular biology scientists Prof. Darby and Prof. Cordova, who conducted research on behalf of the UWO, was the first to discover that the parasites exploited the genetic disadvantage of the male Y-chromosome to take control of key neurological functions in male hosts.

However, even if women were immune to parasite control, they could still become infected with the parasite and act as vectors. And depending on how long these women went untreated, they could still die of anemia after a few weeks to months. As a result, the male population grew very suspicious of women who could not be seen to be infected. But it also meant that the military and other authorities were naturally interested in recruiting as many women as possible to fight against this new enemy, while most of the men were already at war amongst the humans.

The UWO, which despite the war still enjoyed political immunity in most countries of the world, also began to recruit female soldiers. With the slogan „Together against the TRUE enemy“ they advertised their newly formed Strike Force XX, in reference to the double X-chromosome of women, which protected them from the control of the IRDs. But unfortunately, the number of volunteers fell far short of expectations. More and more countries lost the idea of humanity, joined smaller alliances for reasons of self-preservation, and participated in the war that by now raged around the globe. Facing the next possible extinction of all humans, the UWO hired the world’s leading marketing strategy company „Unlimited Inc.“ and invested billions in a marketing campaign to save humanity. A last hope that bore fruit…
