A reclusive man in his private life, Gein had no living relatives, so his secretary went to his farm house to set his things in order.

Apparently, the mayor had kept this side of his life secret for 40 years.

in 2003, Australian scientist Jacob Sheridan has developed a new weapon based on the Martian nanobots, but feels that it is almost too dangerous to use. It is virus-like in nature, and if he has programmed them wrong, it might jump from Martian to human and kill all of us, as well. The military orders him to prepare a large quantity of it, but will hold it in reserve until it looks like the only weapon they have left.
