The three are thrown from the vehicle and killed by the giant cockroaches as the rover rolls over and enters into autopilot mode to continue its journey. They protect Tezuka as he propels the rover through the second wave.
Mary joins her, injecting the DNA to become a rainbow stag beetle Phalacrognathus muelleri with optical camouflage capabilities. She injects the DNA and transforms into a black weevil Pachyrhynchus infernalis, an insect strong enough to survive being stepped on by an elephant. A second larger wave approaches and the team fears that Tezuka will not be able to survive this one so Osako volunteers to go out to help him. The expedition team encounters a wave of giant cockroaches but they push through it. Ichiro injects the DNA and transforms into a sleeping chironomid ( Polypedilum vanderplanki) then removes the oxygen from the vessel to cause the cockroaches to die of asphyxiation. The captain and Ichiro remain behind to battle the swarm of giant cockroaches. Tezuka injects the DNA and transforms into a Steninae MacLeay then sits on the back of the Mars rover and blows a jet of fire out to propel it across the terrain and kill giant cockroaches at the same time. Captain Dojima injects the DNA and transforms into a bullet ant ( Paraponera clavata) with the power to lift one hundred times his own weight and kills the giant cockroach.ĭozens of giant cockroaches swarm into the spacecraft as an expedition team prepares to venture out to grab parts from the BUGS 1, the vessel from the previous mission 10 years earlier, to get the current vessel BUGS 2 into shape to return to Earth. The cockroach survives the fire blast and kills God Lee.Ī giant cockroach climbs on top of the spacecraft breaks through its transparent shell, killing two members of the team as it falls. He walks on the surface of Mars and injects the DNA when he encounters a giant cockroach, transforming into a miidera beetle ( Pheropsophus jessoensis) with the power to emit fire. God Lee is eager to accept the infusion, believing that his powers will also give him added bargaining power when he returns to Earth.
In order to combat the creatures the team is given a range of specially concocted DNA infusions individually designed to give each member of the team special powers. They determine that these creatures are the result of the accelerated evolution of the original small roaches sent by humans to aid in the terraforming efforts 500 years earlier. Eventually they come upon human-sized anthropomorphic cockroaches wielding clubs that quickly kill two of the humans with their superior speed and physical strength. They release a roach bomb but when they walk onto the surface they do not find any dead roaches among the moss. They enter the new atmosphere aboard the BUGS 2 and find the terraforming to have been successful. The crew is an international team of misfits and criminals who are given the opportunity to take part in the mission to gain forgiveness for their crimes. They also introduce cockroaches in order to spread the moss.ĥ00 years later, in the year 2599, a crewed mission is sent to the red planet to clear out the cockroach colony in preparation for the human colonization of Mars. Their first steps in the terraforming of Mars involve seeding the planet with moss in order to absorb the sunlight and create a hospitable atmosphere as well as increase the surface temperature. In the 21st century, overpopulation has become such a problem that scientists begin preparing for the colonization of Mars.
