Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I've tried to work on that Tomei, but it seems hopeless so far." Kai said looking over to Tomei, "And yes Laura, it means you were lucky enough to be cured instead of mutated." He sighed & leaned against a tree. "I found out some important info on the virus, until now we all assumed that in order to be infected we needed to be bitten by a already infected person, right? Well now it seems that even if we come in contact with any bodily fluid from an infected person then there is a 80 percent chance the virus will affect you, Oh yeah, more good news too...There are to types of infected: Ones with a virus & ones with a parasite. The Virus type are simple, mindless, zombie-like mutations with only one thing in mind...to feed." Kai said, "However, the Parasite type are far superior to the Virus types, They can think & use logic to hunt us down and some even retain there human form, but when attacked or attacking they'll have a rather large, bladed tendril burst forth from a random location on there body, most commonly the head though. The easiest way I found out how to deal with the Two types are to shot or hack at away the head, the Virus type should die after this, but the Parasite type are more resilient. They'll try to hack away at you from a distance with there tendril, and the only real way to kill them is to remove the tendril, burn the body, or for some reason throw a flash grenade...I know it sounds odd but the tendrils & Parasite types are incredibly sensitive to sudden burst of bright light." He stopped and searched his cloak for something. "Here" Kai said tossing them each one flash grenade, "Just pull & throw, simple enough I suppose. Use those sparingly because I have only a few left." He got off the tree & unfloded his arms, "Any questions?"

"It's the coloring of their flesh," she said. "It's harder to tell in the dark, but the ones infected with just the virus are a bit on the green side, while those with the parasite are very pale."

"We do have a couple more flash grenades in weapon storage." Maverick said as one of his soldiers ran over to him and whispered something to him. "Uh huh, I see...Keep at it and inform me once you have a 90% true location." He ordered, the soldier saluted and ran back into large tent.

Maverick looked at Laura. "One of our spy probes have spotted a truck leaving the research lab...with a infected behind the wheel. We're tracking it now to see where it'll head but, my guess, it may be headed for the medical development lab. We're trying to confirm the contents of the truck as we speak." He said.

"Got that right... but there is some good news. The leader of the infected is at that development lab, that we have confirmed. My men are fixing the image of him to a better quality so we can make out what he looks like. Plus I have my best hackers trying to breach the systems discreetly to see just what these scientists were working on before this outbreak happened and anything else that helps." Maverick explained.
