It all begins on December 18th, 1998. [[Government Agency of Fiction|AMS agent]] Tom Rogan and his partner [[One-Letter Name|G]] are sent to deal with a disaster at the converted mansion laboratory of [[Mad Scientist|famed geneticist Dr. Roy Curien]]. Summoned by a distress call from Rogan's fiancee, Sophie, the pair discover the mansion is brimming with droves of undead (and other abominations) created by Curien's research into the unknown. Fighting through the mansion, the agents eventually confront Curien just as he's releasing his final masterpiece: [[Humanoid Abomination|The Magician.]] [[Turned Against Their Masters|The creature promptly kills Curien]], believing itself to be superior and - after a lengthy battle - is destroyed by the agents. It's all over. [[The End - or Is It?]]?
 
On February 26th in the year 2000, the madness begins again. Agent G had tracked remnants of Curien's operation to Venice. When G goes missing, AMS rookies James Taylor and Gary Stewart are sent to investigate and discover that a much larger undead horde has descended upon all of Venice. The pair set off to stop whomever is behind the resurrection of Curien's work. Through G's notes and further investigation, it is discovered that [[The Man Behind the Man|Curien's work was funded by Caleb Goldman,]] [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|the sinister CEO of the DBR Corp.]] {{spoiler|However, Goldman is not interested in monetary gain - rather, he believes that mankind has inflicted too much damage to nature to be allowed to exist at its present capacity, and so [[GaiasGaia's Vengeance|he plans to kill off most of the global population]].}}
 
Goldman saw great promise in Curien's work, and so he has fused Curien's experiments in genetic manipulation with his own work on the human genome. [[Kill'Em All|The resulting army of undead threatens not only Venice, but the entire globe.]] The AMS agents fight their way through the older sections of Venice - losing comrades along the way - before making it to Goldman's private skyscraper. James and Gary are then pitted against a resurrected Magician before confronting Goldman himself; Goldman unveils [[Physical God|The Emperor, a supremely powerful creature]] designed to rule over nature and "destroy and hate mankind". Upon the demise of The Emperor, [[Better to Die Than Be Killed|Goldman commits suicide]]... but not before pledging that a successor would come. Just the ravings of a madman, right...?
