Dream Apple

Dream Apples are a colorful fruit native to Mars that inspired a pleasurable sense of euphoria when eaten. They were originally cultivated by humans in the years prior to 2952 AD until it was discovered that they were highly addictive and caused adverse mental illness overtime, eventually becoming more dangerous and sought after than old Earth narcotics like heroine and cocaine. This resulted in their ban by the World Police and the restriction and presumed elimination of Dream Apple crops on Mars.

Despite this ban, Dream Apples continued to circulate in underworld circles due to an illegal farming operation on Saturn's terraformed moon of Calypso which was maintained by the moon's inhabitants the Surgeon Birds, and covered up by corrupt World Police officer Lt. Randy Morgan who was himself a Dream Apple addict and a smuggler for the operation. In order to throw off suspicion from himself, Morgan murdered the only man who could convict him and attempted to frame his former friend John Malowan for the smuggling.

Following Lt. Morgan's "death" and Molowan's brain being transplanted in Morgan's body by the Surgeon Birds, it remains uncertain if Molowan put an end to the Dream Apples.
