After the discovery of a new species of deep-sea mollusks, a breakthrough in the field of genetic engineering occurred and humanity learned to immerse living organisms in a long suspended animation. This discovery coincided with yet another scientific breakthrough in the field of physics, thanks to which the Hyperion spacecraft was built, capable of overcoming enormous space distances. It was not just a ship: it was an autonomous space station capable of functioning for several hundred years.   Due to the cataclysms and overpopulation of the Earth, Hyperion, with tens of thousands of people, was sent to search for and develop habitable planets, but soon the connection with the ship was cut off and the resettlement program was closed.   After 250 years, a huge ship broadcasting a strange signal was seen near the Earth. It was Hyperion.   All attempts to contact the ship were in vain and a team was sent to Hyperion, led by epidemiologist Akira Hanzo.   At first glance, the ship seemed lifeless, but after 20 minutes Akiro Hanzo reported that he had discovered traces of biological origin. A few minutes later, communication with him and his team was interrupted. Sensors showed cardiac arrest. The team was dead.   Soon the signals from the ship were decrypted.   They reported that people on board noticed biological changes of an indefinite nature. Due to the emergency, the ship was sent to the ground. The latest report said that studies have shown that with a long stay in suspended animation, gene mutations begin to occur in the body, which lead to ...   The ship was destroyed.
