User:Zeno Panthakree/Instinct Virus



The Instinct Virus is a biological weapon developed by ONI to use against the Covenant,but ultimately it was never used against them,except in a few classified tests.

Creation
The Instinct Virus was the brainchild of Trevor Ackinfold,a brilliant,secretly psychopathic,scientist that worked for ONI. Ackinfold had seen the effects of influenza on Grunts,and saw how deadly Human diseases were against alien species. He then synthesized the Instinct virus in his lab,hidden under his house. It was created by splicing the high infectivity of Influenza with the deadly,uncurability of Ebola. It was hard to keep working,as Ackinfords lab was destroyed in the Battle of Reach,however he made a breakthrough when he relocated to Earth. The viruses bonded when they were injected seperately into a Grunt,and when they infected the same cell at the same time,they bonded on a genetic scale. This is what finally created the Instinct Virus.

Testing Run
After ONI caught word of this,they funded his research,building him a fully functional lab and giving him 3 million dollars,thinking it could finally be the smoking gun needed to take out the Covenant,permanently. Below is a list of testing.

Test 1


 * Human:3


 * Infected:1


 * 1st Day:Patients 1 and 2 stay on the other side of the room,and Patient 3 has been having many convulsions.
 * 2nd Day:Patient 3 begins spitting a bloody haze like substance out of his mouth,and Patient 1 begins getting strange rashes on his skin,similar to leprosy.


 * 3rd Day:Patients 3 and 1 begin to have large splits on the tops of their heads. Patient 2 constantly moves around the room,avoiding contact.


 * 4th Day:Patients 3 and 1's head split open,and their skin peels all the way off. Patient 2 gets assaulted by the other patients,nd is mauled and bitten to death.


 * 5th Day:Operativs move in to room,and kill the subjects remaining with silenced MA5K's.

Test 2


 * Human:6


 * Infected:3


 * 1st Day:Patients 1,2,and 3 are all infected. Patient 4 grabs chair and tries to smash in observation window. 3 scientists observing infected. Room sealed. Test subjects are all killed with flamethrowers,and then dumped in a vat of sulphuric acid to make sure it is safe. Virus now officially confirmed airborne.
