BRIEFING “Thank you Winston... Now, as for more information.”  "We’ve given the infection the name “Cordyceps.” There are six stages to the infection; When the host is initially infected from a bite, consumption of bodily fluid, or entry to wounds to even breathing in spores of infected individuals. The time of which the infection takes varies from person to person. It could be days up to months to even hours or a few seconds. We’ve conducted research to determine why this variable is so wide. It all depends on different factors such as immune health, genetics, and overall health. With that said, we have become aware that there are some who are immune to Cordyceps, but what they have in relation to each other we are unaware of. However, while they do not turn, they are now carriers of the virus and can spread it. There is no way for omnics to become infected by this virus. There are reports of some omnics spreading the virus maliciously to humans, mostly reports of null sector. So it is very unlikely that a civilian omnic would vindictively spread the virus. It is more likely they would spread it unintentionally due to how contagious the strand is. If you do by chance have an omnic in your company, it would be wise to disinfect them often. It should be noted that an omnics presence does not alert zombies due to a lack of organic life force. The strand, however, is only capable of infecting mammals so things such as avians, reptiles, and aquatic creatures can not be infected."

 "We currently don't have much information on where this virus came from, but we have an idea of how it was made, and who deployed it. No, I know what you're all thinking! Talon! Well, that be an easy guess, but that isn't the case. This bio-weapon was created by Null sector against us and has been created for the very desire to destroy humanity with it."  ...  "As we know, there was a recent report made that some of Dr. Ziegler's research was stolen, we have a kindling of an idea how these zombies are being reanimated by a very poor version of her work. Based on collections we have gathered from a specimen, it seems that Dr. Ziegler's work was spliced with some type of Ophiocordyceps unilateralis strain. As far as how that works, it is a type of insect-pathogenic fungus that normally infects carpenter ants, and only just that. However, in this case, just like the ants, humans infected with this fungus main goal is to infect and nothing more." He looks over at Angela, nodding his head.

"The Second Omnic Crisis continues to devastate Russia. The conflict between omnics and humans has now claimed over 15,000 lives. So far, the international community has been reluctant to join..." "Null sector on the rise again, spreading throughout the world and killing dozen by the minute..." "Man reported eating another man face in Colorado, when confronted by police, the man turned around and attempted to attack police officers. The man has shot a total of 25 times. Officer said he just kept coming until he took a bullet to the head. " "More reports of cannibalistic behavior being committed in Colorado. An eye witness reports she stumbled upon her elderly neighbour eating her cat before attacking, and biting her. Police were called and shortly after and had to put the woman down as she refused to stand down." "The State of Colorado is in quarantine after an unknown virus has infiltrated and begin to spread rapidly. Said virus causes people to fly into a homicidal rage, attacking with their bare hands and teeth, eating their flesh in the process, and in return infecting the other person."
