Plot

Template:Spoiler In AD 2045, a group of military cadets, attending the preparatory course of the Central Military Academy, proceeded for training aboard the space station Aries. Within this group of cadets were Royta Aizawa and his classmates including Nagase Sayaka and Nitta Kazuhiko. The situation gone sour when a group of terrorist group called Harallax assaulted the station. While the military successfully evacuated the station, they were trapped aboard the station. Worse still, the boarding assault left most of the military forces dead, effectively leaving the cadets on their own.

An unexpected twist occurs when a mysterious virus was released within the station, gaining control of almost every personnel and turning them into mindless creatures in the process. This forced everyone, friendly and foe alike, to start finding a way of getting out of the station alive.
