Prologue – Report
Transcription of Scientific and Medical Observation team in regards to human subject 00975, for the human trials of mega-virus BK12-67 mutation strain 18266, of the seventh day of May, in the 127 year of the Uchiha Dynasty.
05/07/127U
Subject infected via infected blood samples into the digestive tract, orally administered, on day one of the trial, 09:00. Incubation of the new strain appears to be only four hours.
13:00 - Subject 00975 shows signs of excessive sweating, but appears otherwise unhindered. Samples of the sweat show that it is indeed infectious to others, the virus having completed its incubation. Subject shows no signs of discomfort.
15:00 – Subject shows signs of peripheral nerve degeneration, particularly twitching of the fingers and toes, however the twitches go unnoticed by the subject. A slight fever begins.
16:00 – Subject shows rapid deterioration, beginning with seemingly harmless excessive salivation. Only minutes later, the pupils dilate completely, the heart rate increases, and brain scans show complete shutdown of large portions of the frontal lobe of the brain. All rational decision-making skills, judgment, and self-preservation instincts appear to completely disband. Severe oral fixation, followed by an extreme spike in adrenaline makes the 00975 nearly impossible to contain.
17:00 – Subject temporarily breaks free of restraints, killing five orderlies before being contained. All communication abilities have ceased. Subject shows complete disregard for his own safety and the lives of others. Further breakdown of the nervous system results in severe jerks of the limbs and jaws. An otherwise silent subject, 00975 begins screaming at random, seemingly without control over the vocalizations. The increased heart rate appears too great for the vascular system to handle: bursting of capillaries in the dermis shows first as bruising, and finally as droplets on the flesh as blood escapes through pores in the skin, most intensely around sweat prone areas: face, under arms, chest, back, and neck. Saliva previously pinkened with blood now appears dark brown in color. Further testing shows that it is rotted tissue. Sedation and internal scoping show that the lining of the stomach has become necrotic. Bloody tissue expelled during fits of coughing further proves the breakdown of soft mucus membranes in the body. Subject changed into soft restraints after skin slippage begins.
18:06 – Subject 00975 declared dead. Subject collapsed into unconsciousness shortly after a severe fit of violence, lasting only a few minutes. Subject began seizing violently, finally dying of blood loss and asphyxia. Autopsy shows that breakdown of the tissue of the lungs was nearly complete. Findings of the autopsy are, however, inconclusive. Internal organs liquefy completely forty-one minutes after death. Bone tissue follows shortly after, gelling before finally liquefying, leaving nothing of the remains.
Full course of the virus: 10 hours. Mortality rate in humans: 100%. Infection rate in humans: 100%. Mortality rate in demons: 80%. Infection rate in demons: .00016%. Immunity strain in humans: non-existent. Immunity strain in demons: 99.7%.
BK12-67 mutation strain 18266 – Screaming Sickness: approved for weaponization.
