● Virus Name: NERVEX-13

(Neuro-Respiratory Viral Experiment X, Trial 13)

•Primary Targets:

-Nervous system → constant pain, loss of control, madness

-Lungs → slow suffocation, coughing, chest rupture sensations

-This combo keeps victims alive, aware, and suffering for as long as possible.

● Infection Stages:

-Stage I — Onset (6–12 hours):

Sharp headaches and pressure behind the eyes.

Burning sensation in the chest.

Tingling nerves, like electricity under the skin.

Victims feel watched or uneasy.

> Many patients believe it’s anxiety or exhaustion.

-Stage II — Progression (12–24 hours):

Severe coughing fits that tear the throat.

Muscles twitch uncontrollably

Nerve pain intensifies — even light touch feels like fire

Sudden mood swings: fear → rage → panic

> Victims remain fully conscious and aware.

●Stage III — Neurological Breakdown (1–2 days):

Hallucinations (voices, shadows, faces that en’t there).

Loss of speech control; screaming or whispering involuntarily.

Temporary paralysis while awake.

Bones feel like they’re cracking due to violent spasms.

Eyes may bleed from pressure and inflammation.

> This is when attacks on doctors begin.

●Stage IV — Aggressive Phase:

Brain regions linked to empathy shut down.

Extreme aggression and predatory behavior.

Victims attack anyone nearby, especially uninfected individuals.

Pain response becomes distorted — wounds don’t stop them.

> The body is dying, but the virus keeps it moving.

●Stage V — Termination:

Lungs fail slowly, filling with fluid.

Nervous system collapses.

Death occurs from combined respiratory and neurological failure.

> Most victims die screaming or gasping.

—> The Symptoms:

Feeling of insects crawling under the skin.

Bones locking mid-movement.

Jaw snapping shut uncontrollably.

Sensitivity to sound so intense it causes seizures.

Involuntary screaming caused by nerve misfires.

Loss of recognition of loved ones.

Bleeding from nose, ears, or eyes.

●How It Spreads:

-Airborne in enclosed spaces

-Blood and bodily fluids

-Surface contamination inside the base

-Extremely fast transmission in poorly ventilated areas

■ In-Universe Scientific Note (short log style)

> “NERVEX-13 was designed to stimulate neural regeneration. Instead, it amplifies pain signals and suppresses higher cognitive restraint. Subjects do not lose consciousness. They endure.”
