# Midasis

### <mark style="color:red;">A young species</mark>

Midasis are struggling and dying because they evolved way too fast, and don’t have the wisdom to manage their technological advances.

### <mark style="color:red;">Like there’s no tomorrow, except that there’s one.</mark>

Because of their polluted planet, a huge hole has formed in the ozone layer.&#x20;

**The atmosphere no longer protects living beings from cosmic rays to the same extent.**

This results in numerous skin diseases for Midasis.

**To avoid having to live in caves or underground, they modify their genome so that their skin becomes more reflective.**

### <mark style="color:red;">Advanced geneticists</mark>

So they use aluminium-enriched cells to change the material of the skin and modified genes coding for the colour of the skin cells giving a golden tone.

**The combination of these two elements makes the skin of Midasis golden and reflective, allowing them to survive the sun's radiation.**

### <mark style="color:red;">An unfair solution</mark>

But, not every Midasi have access to it.&#x20;

**It is very expensive to get a full transformation.**&#x20;

Most of them get a partial transformation because of cheap mutation products or lack of money to get to the end of the treatment.
