Proposal: Adenovirus Type-HematophagyDifficulty: HardResult: (3+2)-1=4,
Poor Ad.H is not too different from Ad.N in how it behaves, but the specialized forced genetic mutation was a slight speed bump in development. We managed to create a sort of "gene-bombing" virus that forces changes in infected bats to make them more resemble their Vampire Bat kin while increasing their size. Most infected bats die off during the mutative process, but those that survive will show symptoms not unlike rabies, and will aggressively seek out warm blood to ingest.
Cross-species infection can occur with humans if a bite occurs, but usually ends in the victim becoming intensely ill for a number of days after the biting incident. On occasion though the infection takes hold and the Ad.H will gene-bomb a human host. The change is painful, and results in a human with flattened facial features, extended fangs, and an insatiable hunger for blood. Vampires are photosensitive and will hide during daylight hours in whatever dark nook they can find, but are highly active at night. Vampires will stalk and hunt prey for hours before striking, and will flee if they cannot immediately overpower a victim.

Proposal: Feral PestivirusDifficulty: Very HardResult: (6+3)-2=7,
Average The
Feral Pestivirus is a completely new homemade viral pathogen based on Swine Fever. Symptoms within infected pigs first emerge in the form of fever, seizures, and violent bowel movements. After a few days of illness the virus reaches a tipping point and triggers an "unlocking" of ancient genes while promoting a rapid mutation of the host pig. Sick pigs will seem to recover immediately as they begin to ravenously feed to fuel their extending tusks, growing bristles of fur, and swelling musculature. This process can take place in just a few hours after recovery and results in a large, feral, powerful Bullswine.
The Bullswine, no longer necessarily sick, are at this point driven into an endless feeding frenzy to sate their bottomless hunger. The Bullswine will aggressively devour anything organic it can fit into it's mouth, and will aggressively demolish anything it cannot aggressively devour until it can.
Feral Pestivirus is fairly slow to spread, as it usually results in a single surviving Bullswine out of any one enclosed population of pigs. That said, a single Bullswine is like an angry tank the size of a Mini Cooper.

It is now the September Infection Phase! You can select one of each different BOW you have at your disposal and deploy them to any Continent you wish! Remember that you can get as specific as you want with the location the pathogen is deployed at, whether it's the type of environment you want or a certain city. To facilitate not making the votebox give everyone a stroke, please write up and vote for singular plans instead of voting for each possible deployment on an individual basis. Also remember to keep the new Company logo in mind! We'll need one by the end of the turn, as well as the Continent we'll be focusing our public outreach initiatives at.
Adenovirus Type-N: Based off of the Common Cold. Ad.N targets the spinal column and brain, although an infected subject will eventually have affected cells throughout the body. Ad.N replicates within affected cells, causes cell death, and spreads itself to new cells to repeat the process. Infection results in reduced mental faculties, including intense bouts of rage and paranoia, severe mental degradation, and reduced mobility. Ad.N spreads through mucus and saliva. The immune system can rarely fight off Ad.N infection before permanent damage is done. Ad.N targets vertebrates, but most readily finds it's hosts in humans. Stockpile: 3 (0/3 Deployed)
Adenovirus Type-H: A bat-targeted virus based off of Ad.N with the purpose of carrying Vampire Bat genes and mutations into other bats. Infected bats grow in size, gain exaggerated fangs, thirst for blood, and furiously hunt for their food. Humans bitten by Ad.H-positive bats are at risk of turning into "Vampires". Vampires gain bat-like facial features, fangs, and the hunger for blood. They act as nocturnal ambush predators and seek shelter during the day. Stockpile: 2 (0/2 Deployed)
Feral Pestivirus: A swine-targeting disease that removes epigenetic locks after a period of intense illness. The pathogen promotes an intense growth process alongside the genetic alterations to create "Bullswine". Bullswine are massive and very tough, with two large intimidating tusks. They are also insatiable able will destroy and eat anything they see in a ravenous frenzy until something stops them. Stockpile: 3 (0/3 Deployed)
BRIGANDINE: A highly protective and advanced CRBN suit with good mobility made of plastic, rubber, and aramid fibers. Very durable. Has an amazing air filtration system and backup air supply. The helmet has a powerful lamp and video camera as well as full communications suite and HUD for displaying teammate statuses. A forearm computer allows for control of the suit's subsystems.
