Plot[]
A fantasy game and reality collide for students when the aliens invade a campus to steal a lethal biological substance. Things become even worse when an alien is exposed to the toxin and becomes a mentally unstable rogue.
Synopsis[]
At Ohio Polytech, during a fantasy version of a laser tag-like game set in the college's underground tunnels, student Robert Parkins, a former associate of Suzanne's, is killed by aliens attempting to steal lethal "Y Fever" from a campus lab. The team arrives to investigate.
One of Parkins' teammates, possessed by the aliens, is infected by Y Fever. Frenzied, forgetting his alien identity, he disappears with two vials of Y Fever toxin, resuming the students' game.
The team discovers the break-in and searches the tunnels for him. The aliens also search until Ironhorse kills them. Harrison, entering the game, tricks the alien / student into the lab where he's destroyed.
