Catastrophe: Sickness outbreak called "Vampire Virus"

Time of the first outbreak: 01/13/13, 22:31 h Patient Zero:  ▮▮▮ ▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮, Angelina (Biochemist) File attached.

Casualities: No notable casualties, although there are still injuries being cataloged and missing persons reports still to be filed. Of note is the drop in the homeless population of the infected area. The least fortunate tend to be the first casualties, in the case of something that preys on humans like the virus does.

Basic facts about the Virus and its spread:  If not stated otherwise all observations are made by Dr. Bruce Banner.

The virus is transmitted like a regular virus, through ingestion of infected blood. Even a drop in the eyes or mouth are enough to cause someone to turn.

It manifests in a single day and spreads through the body in mere hours, mutating it rapidly.

Vampires need blood to keep mobile. Should they be cut off from any blood intake (e. g. by restraints) they will fall into a coma not unlike hibernation.

The virus works differently in meta/superhumans than it does in normal humans. Tony Stark is the closest to Patient Zero genetically, while superhumans and mutants such as Peter Parker and even [REDACTED], who carries a weaker version of the [REDACTED] are mutating in different ways.

Teeth are developing completely separate from each other for every person. The most common seems to be the sharper and longer canine teeth.

Developing of the Cure: The formula was found by Agent K. Black and Consulant T. Stark in Patients Zero's laboraties in Manhatten

Dr. B. Banner and SHIELD medical used all the resources they had on hand including various blood samples to develop a final cure that does not kill the infected patient.

The first test as directed by the formula found with Patient Zero was a failure. She would not say if that was deliberate or an honest mistake. The test subject experienced rashes and flaming pain but no positive changes to his DNA were made.

The second test with changes from Dr. Banner made the patient experience bright pain until it settled three days later and the virus completely left the patient's bloodstream and his body reverted back to what it was before the mutation took place.

The final cure is painless and works through the entire body in twenty hours.

Patient Zero's complete file and background check

Several of our Characters have been infected by the Virus with varying degrees of vampirism.

Stark Tower becomes refugee for all bitten superheroes that could escape quarantine. They are being fed out of the bottle to avoid coma and hunger sickness.

It is found that the Virus originally spread from only one person (an obsessed chemist)

Agent Black (deeply insulted by this virus) tracks her down

Tony Stark - being one of the first Turned - accompanies him because unlike the later bred he possesses several abilities including smell, marking and awareness during hunger. (Sadly also including an obey-your-creator urge)

Agent Black was able to immobilize the scientist after she admits owning a cure.

Sample found. Formula will be verified by Dr. Banner

Antidote will be produced once it's determined it's the real deal.

If not they have patient number zero in a containment cell.

He was making a list. More like a chart, really. He had JARVIS and his scans continuitely on him and while he let ANGEL figure out how to produce sunblocker (he wanted to test if that helped him any) he looked at all the physical changes.

He looked sick (bloodshot eyes with dark rings, white face) and he was running hot (slight fever apparently) and after experimenting he found himself to see better, to smell better but not to hear better.

Doing four seperate IQ tests he didn't get any smarter. He could have happened!

Now he crouches in front of the biggest thing he's currently working on. It's a capsule he is building for the Stark School. Those mutants come in all shapes and sizes and some of them are bound to hear thoughts or just hear very good. He had invented this thing with undisturbed sleep in mind. Water that rushes through three seperate tubes between outer shell and inner shell will completely cut off the sounds inside from the sounds outside, creating a nice whitenoise.

What was important now was that it was heavy as fuck.

Getting his hands into two ridges he bend his knees and pulled. And the thing actually lifted. He let go in schock too fast and it crashed right down again with an awful lot of noise. That thankfully blended right in with his music.

[Able to lift approx. 300% more weight than normally. Needs more data for correct number.]

Good god that is much. Scratching his neck he fiddles with the loose end up the band-aid he had put there.
