Hmm...
Alright, here's my suggestion.
Add vulnerability: HIV Immunity (+3)
Add vulnerablity: Mundane Chemical Death to All Analgesic Chemicals (+8)
Add vunerability: Quite Common Chemical Death to All Anesthetic Chemicals (+6)


One point to mutate direct fluid transmission vector (-1)
One point to remove trait "Slow" (-1)
One point to form "Centralized Internal Parasite" (-1)
One point to remove trait "Unaware" (-1)
Two points to remove trait "Rebellious" (-2)


Starting Location: Detroit

Should you choose to accept my vulnerablity suggestions, I'll update the mutations. If not, just consider the suggestion to be without them. I say we start in Detroit because the city's homeless population and problems in general would make for a great staging ground.

I say stick with Indevidual for now, it's harder to track and we need to stay secretive at first. So remove unaware if possible

If we start in Detroit, by the time our story gets out it'll be too late for humanity. There are enough downtrodden and ignored people to infect that once we start getting noticed, they'll be too many for a city police force to stop. Horde tactics are going to be important for taking down armed individuals after our outbreak becomes known.

Then we can switch to horde then. For now it's better to stay hidden.

Hordes are also the easiest to avoid, since you usually know they are coming.

Alright, you've convinced me. I'll vouch that we use that point to remove "Unaware". So, are my vulnerabilities valid?

Add vulnerablity: -Mundane- Chemical Death to All Analgesic Chemicals (+8)
(You probably don't want this, I'll be honest)
Add vunerability: - Quite Common - Chemical Death to All Anesthetic Chemicals (+6)
(This would be better, but its still a pretty powerful vulnerability...)

Yikes, those chemicals are that common? This...this needs thinking about then. We probably shouldn't take either of those then, but we'd have enough mutations to remove every natural fault and then some. I'll take that out of my suggestion unless the rest of you think it's a good idea.

Aspirin belongs to the first group. Considering your incubation time...
Actually, the Anesthetics are a bit less common than I thought. Probably closer to a 4, somewhat common.

Yeah no, let's just not go with those, our current form seems well off to me.

Now that I think about it, anyone who goes to a hospital for treatment would certainly get one of those, killing the infection. Bad, bad idea on my part.

as for the transmission vector, why not fungus-like spores? they could spread without being very noticeable, and over a wide area.

You have mutated!

This seems to be the general consensus, so I'll commit this:
Added vulnerability: HIV (+3)
Added Transmission Vector: Larvae via Body Fluids (-1)
Added Form: "Centralized Internal Parasite" (-1)

Points Remaining: 4
