Spoilers ahead
On a routine Space Shuttle mission, the Olympus carries a shocking payload: Project Viper, an experimental hybrid that fuses human genes with computer chips to adapt to any environment, with Mars as its ultimate test. As the crew prepares to launch the first prototype, a sudden power glitch ruptures the containment and releases Viper into the open. The result is catastrophic: the crew is killed, and the Secretary of Defense wastes no time ordering the second prototype destroyed, kept under tight guard at a NovaGen Science facility. To carry out the order, he calls in Mike Connors, a special agent who knows this project inside and out.
