I: Wish You Were Here

In the future, a meteor crashes into Earth and brings with it a virulent form of life.

This virus is known as M34 and attacks humans, turning them into vicious monsters.

Most of the human population is wiped out, thus government agencies are formed to fight it off.

One of the groups, the NOA, inserts nanomachines into the bodies of its soldiers; these machines allow them to transform and neutralise the infected.

Unfortunately, the virus mutates and becomes too strong for the NOA to handle.

Now the fate of the world rests in the hands of a 16-year-old girl with the unique power to defeat the virus.
