Genetic Hardening 1
AbilitiesPathogen becomes harder to analyse in the lab. Decreases future research speed
Genetic Hardening 2
AbilitiesThe pathogen does not reproduce in lab conditions. Decreases future research speed
Genetic Overhaul
AbilitiesDNA adapts to immune system attacks and is able to infect people at an effective rate. Significantly increases infectivity increase speed
Genetic ReShuffle 1
AbilitiesPathogen DNA strands reassembled. More work needed to develop a cure
Genetic ReShuffle 2
AbilitiesA new strain of the pathogen now exists, increasing the work needed to develop a cure
Genetic ReShuffle 3
AbilitiesMultiple strains of the pathogen now exist, increasing the work needed to develop a cure
Heat Resistance 1
AbilitiesPathogen evolves to withstand hot temperatures and climates
Heat Resistance 2
AbilitiesPathogen avoids cellular breakdown in high temperatures. Increased effectiveness in hot climates
Immune Suppression
SymptomsPathogens attach to lymphocytes, suppressing immune system and allowing significantly greater freedom of mutation. Can be lethal
Incubation 1
AbilitiesAn inconsistent and long-incubation period reduces chance of diagnosis, reducing severity but increasing effectiveness of treatment.
Incubation 2
AbilitiesIncrease Incubation time and decrease symptomatic time, less severity and increases the opportunity for infection
Incubation 3
AbilitiesMaximise incubation time and minimise symptomatic time, significantly less severity and increases the opportunity for infection
Induration
SymptomsPathogen rapidly hardens and thickens facial, hand and ear skin layers, resulting in significant loss of sensation and ability to speak. Harder to cure
Inflammation
SymptomsDelay the process of paralysis, taking place much later in the incubation period, increasing mobility. Increase infectivity and reduces severity
Internal Deformations
SymptomsRibcage and other vital skeletal structures rapidly lose cartilage to the body, deforming and damaging internal organs
Internal Haemorrhaging
SymptomsArterial membranes break down, causing rapid internal bleeding and death
Livestock 1
TransmissionsLivestock susceptible to infection.
Livestock 2
TransmissionsWildlife susceptible to infection. Increase infectivity, especially in rural regions and mutation
Muscle Decay
SymptomsBegin paralysis deeper in muscle tissue, making the process less noticeable to the host. Reduces severity
Necrosis
SymptomsLarge swathes of infected tissue lose blood supply and become fatal sources of gangrene. Decomposed bodies remain a vector of transmission
Organ Exposure
SymptomsCatastrophic exposure of internal organs leaves infected unable to protect their most vital systems from any infection.
Paralysis
SymptomsPathogen destroys motor neurons to cause paralysis. Significantly harder to cure and can be lethal.
Pneumonia
SymptomsSerious fluid build and discharge from the lungs. People in cold climates especially vulnerable
Pulmonary Fibrosis
SymptomsScarring of the lungs causes shortness of breath and extreme coughing. Can be fatal when combined with intense exercise
