Reset


 * For the Torchwood episode, see Reset (Torchwood story).

Reset is a drug that was being tested by the Pharm. It can cure virtually every known disease by "resetting" the human body back to its "factory setting". However, this is due to the fact that the drug contains the parasitic mayfly in its larval stage, and the larvae need a completely healthy host in which to gestate. The mayflies cannibalize their larval siblings until only the strongest is left. The remaining mayfly then emerges from its host, killing him or her in the process. Should the host die prior to maturation, the surviving larvae have a short time in which they may leave the body and seek out a new host. (TW: Reset)
