Thomas McDevitt

, born in 2046, was a down-on-his-luck farmer from Huntersville, West Virginia. The little town was on the verge of disappearing in early 2075, when West Tek and the government offered it a rural development grant. The town gladly accepted and within three months received a brand-new water recycling system and sewer lines, even hooked into Thomas's nearby farm. Things were looking up for Huntersville, especially when the West Tek Research Center was erected outside of town in late August. Nobody batted an eye at a major corporation suddenly establishing itself in backwoods Appalachia, not with the money flowing into Huntersville and economy booming thanks to the researchers.

The flow of commerce suddenly halted in February 2076, after the Greenhouse Initiative was shuttered and the town became a proving ground for FEV. Huntersville farmers petitioned West Tek to lend their hand and treat the sick. However, the situation steadily deteriorated, with West Tek physicians convincing the people of Huntersville that it was just a rare strain of flu... That made people's skin change color and their hair to fall out. Thomas McDewitt went out to West Tek for help.

Instead of help, he found death: He was used as an FEV test subject, and the 172.6 pound (78 kg), 5'11 '' (180 cm) farmer was processed as a test subject.
