There had been little warning and by the time they knew, it was too late. Schuman Kransfield smacked into the northern reaches of the Siberian wastes and humanity breathed a collective sigh of relief. The rogue comet had missed anywhere that mattered. There were repercussions, of course, but none as severe as if it had landed in a centre of population.

Then the deaths began.

At first, no one linked the disease with the comet. Gradually, as the plague spread and they traced its origins, the realisation came. Schuman Kransfield had carried a passenger through the far reaches of space. Once on Earth, travel was quick and easy.

It caught a train to Moscow. From there, it boarded a plane to Frankfurt. Once in Frankfurt, it was just a short hop to most of the other population centres in the world.
