Parasite Eve

One of them is a police officer. The other is possessed by an ancient evil threatening all life on Earth. The horrifying bond between them will continue until something dies.

Introduction - The Eve Within You Will Awaken...

"Mitochondria" - A microorganism that lives within human cells, and has existed symbiotically with the nucleus for hundreds of millions of years. Critical for production of energy within living things, mitochondria has its own genetic code, and the ability to evolve and multiply.

After exhaustive DNA research, it appears that all mitochondria can be traced to a single source: a female human in ancient Africa, indentified as "Mitochondria Eve".

What if this organism had "her" own intentions and was waiting for the day to take over the human race...?

Christmas Eve. New York. "She" awakens on this destined day.

And now, the final battle for survival between the human race and the mitochondria is about to begin...

 

Parasite Eve II

Aya Brea is back. The Neo Mitochondrion Creature infestation has resurfaced and taken on a sinister twist. The outcome of this battle will determine earth's dominant species.

The Story - The Threat Returns

Mitochondria - Mitochondria are organelles found within the cells of all living things. Possessing DNA different from that in the cell's nucleus, mitochondria may be the remains of a seperate organism that the nucleus absorbed into the cell shortly after life on this planet began. Opposing theories state that mitochondria deliberately entered the cell as a nucleic parasite. Mitochondria generate ATP, an important source of cell power.

Mitochondria Eve - Based on data taken from mitochondria DNA collected from people of various ethnic bakgrounds, a hypothesis was formed tracing all mitochondria to a single source: a female human in ancient Africa, identified as "Mitochondria Eve".

Christmas Eve, 1997. In a chain of events that began with the mass-immolation of hundreds of concert-goers at Carnegie Hall, Manhattan Island was evacuated and quarantined for a week. The mitochondria that had until then worked for the benefit of human cells suddenly awakened with their own will and purpose. NYPD officer Aya Brea's actions brought the horrific incident to a close.

However, it wasn't until September 2000 that Aya realized that the nightmare was not over, and that the string of mitochondria-related events she had been investigating would lead to an even greater tragedy.
