Abilities
Compare
Cold Resistance 1
Pathogen is naturally used to withstanding cold temperatures and climates
Cold Resistance 2
Hardened virus capsid ensures pathogen survival in extremely cold environments
Cold Resistance 3
30,000 years of surviving beneath layers of ice have completely solidified virus's lipid covering, ensuring survival at sub-zero temperatures
DNA Repair 1
Initial repair of low-level protein strands damaged during dormancy Restore ancient symptoms and ability to stabilise in warmer environments
DNA Repair 2
Partial repair of low-level protein strands damaged during dormancy Restore ancient symptoms and ability to resist basic immune responses
DNA Repair 3
Full repair of low-level protein strands damaged during dormancy Restore ancient symptoms and ability to withstand higher temperatures
DNA Repair 4
Initial repair of high-level protein strands damaged during dormancy Restore ancient symptoms and ability to resist advanced immune responses
DNA Repair 5
Partial repair of high-level protein strands damaged during dormancy Restore ancient symptoms and ability to survive in hot environments
Drug Resistance 1
Pathogen becomes resistant to class 1 and 2 treatments. Increase effectiveness in wealthy countries
Drug Resistance 2
Pathogen develops resistance to class 3 and 4 treatments. Increase effectiveness in wealthy countries
Full DNA Repair
Viral DNA fully reconstructed, giving access to entire genetic code from Neanderthal era. Can now entirely reshape human temperament
Genetic Hardening 1
Pathogen becomes harder to analyse in the lab. Decreases future research speed
Genetic Hardening 2
The pathogen does not reproduce in lab conditions. Decreases future research speed
Genetic ReShuffle 1
Pathogen DNA strands reassembled. More work needed to develop a cure
Genetic ReShuffle 2
A new strain of the pathogen now exists, increasing the work needed to develop a cure
Genetic ReShuffle 3
Multiple strains of the pathogen now exist, increasing the work needed to develop a cure
Heat Resistance 1
Pathogen evolves to withstand hot temperatures and climates
Heat Resistance 2
Pathogen evolves some resistance to high temperatures. Increased effectiveness in hot climates
Heat Resistance 3
Pathogen avoids cellular breakdown in high temperatures. Increased effectiveness in hot climates
Ice Resistance
Pathogen able to survive and spread in crystalline sea water when ice melts. Increases infectivity by sea, and is harder to detect
