PsiXn Medical

PsiXn Medical was a research facility that worked mainly with the SSAM to develop cures for various pathogens. Their experiments on human test subjects often backfired. They attempeted a cure for the Ebola virus, which cured it, but caused severe strokes instead. Although their research remained secret, anyone living nearby knew about it the day of the incident...

History
PsiXn Medical was founded in 1995 by an independent group of research students. By 2000, their company grew into a small research firm. In 2001, they received a shipment of leftover Snaketonium from Mutronico after they bought out Meteor Labs. In 2004, they were approached by SSAM agents to begin work on curing various diseases, such as cancer. In 2006, they successfully found a cure eyeball cancer. In 2007, the Snaketonium canisters were hidden in a deep storage vault, as several technicians found no use for it.

Incident
The incident occurred on March 4th, 2012. The SSAM sciences commission was beginning to phase out at this point, and had given PsiXn Medical an assignment to work on a cure for skin cancer. A while back they had tried this with other laboratories, but most results were fatal.

Work began on January 27, 2012. Also around this time, PsiXn was phasing out most medical research and working on makeup and moisturizing cream. The idea was to create a moisturizing cream that used chemicals to cure skin cancer. A working title was NewSkin.

By April 18, they had placed an order for snake venom, as the acids in the venom and other chemicals were proven to destroy certain cancer cells. One young technician realized that they already had snake venom, and extracted the Snaketonium from the freezer vault.
