The fate of the landing party on MannaWorks 3 is revealed after the half dead body of Commander Shannon Lower is discovered aboard the lifeless space freighter Sagittarius. As the sole survivor of the bloody carnage on the Jupiter moon colony, Shannon is the only living witness to the terror that is DiNA: Simmons, the Crimson Plague -- a terror that has escaped to stalk the streets of MannaWorks 2 on Mars. And even as the MW2 police force work feverishly to capture this mysterious killer, EcoTech, Earth's almighty political and industrial corporate power, has sinister reasons of its own for keeping the existence of DiNA: Simmons secret-- even if it means ultimately that there can be no living witnesses.
