VersaLife



VersaLife is an organization in the computer and video game Deus Ex.

In the most basic sense, Versalife is a multinational pharmaceutical production and research company, responsible for the production and development of Ambrosia, the only known cure for the  Gray Death.

The company is owned by the multinational supercorporation Page Industries and its headquarters are located in Hong Kong.

As far as the public is aware, that is the extent of VersaLife's activities.

In truth, Versalife not only manufactures Ambrosia but also the Gray Death virus itself. Its Hong Kong headquarters building sits atop a massive subterranean research complex. Among its multiple concurrent research projects are explorations into psionics, genetic manipulation, and nanotechnology. It is this last application that has proven most helpful to the company's true controller: a secret organization called Majestic 12.

VersaLife is actually one of the public parts of Majestic 12, and it is used as a means of achieving world domination.

Using a universal constructor, VersaLife is able to produce both the Gray Death virus and its only cure, the antivirus Ambrosia, at will. Ambrosia is not a permanent cure, but rather only a temporary measure. By selectively increasing and decreasing the intensity of plague outbreaks while keeping the cure under tight rations, Majestic-12 is able to foster social disorder by dissolving the standard social classes - Majestic-12 alone decides who will receive Ambrosia, and no permanent immunization exists. This is the perfect stage for a philanthropist like Bob Page to enter and be seen by the public as a true hero trying to help the community.

Versalife also runs the Genetically Modified Organism Project, which breeds creatures such as Greasels and Karkians. Both organisms appear to be recombinant creations. A third major project, Greys, are supposedly cloned from DNA recovered from Roswell. The hypothesis has been put forth, however, they are merely monkeys engineered to have no hair and spit toxic substance.

Versalife's motto is "We make Tomorrow look like Yesterday", which shows the truly terrible state in which the world lies at the time.
