ALZ-112 was the name of the viral 'cure' for Alzheimer's Disease developed by Dr. Will Rodman at the Gen-Sys Laboratories over the course of five-and-a-half years. Among the chimp test subjects were Bright Eyes, Lorelei, Chambers, Burke and Verdon. A military-sanctioned 'variant' of the drug was administered to Burke and Verdon, the latter of whom was later shot attempting to escape. Bright Eyes went berserk just as Rodman was announcing his progress to members of the board. The project was closed down as a result, but Rodman adopted the new-born child of Bright Eyes, Caesar, who developed remarkable intelligence as a result of his mother's exposure to the virus. Rodman noted that both Bright Eyes and Caesar developed a green tint in their eyes as their intelligence increased.

After Will's success in giving the drug to his own father, Charles Rodman, who suffered from the disease, Gen-Sys began developing a newer and stronger version - 'ALZ-113'. He reported to Gen-Sys boss Steven Jacobs that not only had his father recovered his mental faculties using 112, he had become even more intelligent.

NotesEdit

• 112 was the running time, in minutes, of the original Planet of the Apes movie.
• An earlier version of the script used the name 'ADV 112' - shorthand for 'adenovirus'.
