Traces of the IG Virus found in Dimmimar

Today at 6:00, a worker was took ill. The incident was thrown aside and the worker sent home. Within 2 hours all the staff of plant were turned into unidentifiable masses of drooling zombie-like creatures. The plant was quarantined and the worker that was sent home was shot.

All other people that came into contact with the workers or managers, were quarantined and placed under constant watch.

How the virus came into contact with these people is unknown, but help is needed to eradicate all traces of this virus. Fascist White States is the only other nation known by Dimmimar to have come in contact with this virus...

We need urgent scientific help!

IG Virus? I use that in some of my bombs. Do you know of anyone who is enemy's with you that has the virus that might have used it on you?

If you have any samples of this biological agent, we will like to take a look at it in our labratories.

The people are under quarantine. We are not prepared to take the risk of taking samples from them until we are further educated about this virus.....

CM has extensive knowledge of the virus as we had a close working relationship with the Magdhan biological weapons team that worked on the virus after it was made by Fascist White States.


Our top biological weapons expert, Dr. Baldur von Schacht, has vast knowledge of the virus and he will gladly help youl.

As we have relations with Communist Mississippi, will you ship us a sample of the IG Virus? We are so interested in it. And since everything medical is government ran with unlimited government funding, we are best fitted to harnest this killer.

Being a fan of Resident Evil I know a great deal about the zombie virus (I've read the books, keep up on the storyline, etc)
Well the virus quickly dissipates after initial release into the air. After about 10-30 minutes you don't have to worry about airborne transmission.

But the initial infection sets in during this time, people will begin to develop black sores on their bodies (arms, legs, chest, and back) and these will itch uncontrollably, then the sores will begin to fall off, the person may complain of extreme fever. Also the skin will begin to die. About 1-3 hours after infection, the person will become unconscious and will appear dead, then a few hours later they will rise and will be a zombie.


That's basically resident evil in a nutshell. The best way to kill a zombie is with massive force being applied to the head. (take their head off with a 12 gauge)

I will ship you 10 gallons. Be warned that 10 gallons could be enough to infect perhaps 500,000 if released into the air under the right conditions.

Secret IC: I do have a government funded program runing attepmting to find a way to kill the virus but we are comming up empty handed. If you think we could co-op with this research it would help us both out. It may also reduce the time it takes to find the cure. I say we each put 50 men on the project, it will cost each of us around $44,000,000,000 a year.

[i]Is the virus able to penetrate highly-sophiticated viral suits?

As noted before, until information on the virus is supplied, there will be no breaking the quarantine...


After the airborne infection phase is over, the only way to get it is through close contact with an infected, such as body tissue, blood, saliva, and such. If an infected bites or scratches you, you will get it.

Also note the virus has no species barrier, it can infect anything and everything, plants, animals, acquatic life, insects, etc.

It accelerates the metabolic rate of everything it infects and causes them to seek out large amounts of food to satisfy their appetite.

I guess that we can use it against hotile nations toward us. Stick it in an ICBM. I have 1 nuclear missile, and i prefer using that over this unbelievable virus.

Grazie for the introduction on it. We have noted that. I guess if we use it in key locations, they will be of great use in penetration. I don't want to hit big cities with it, that could be a travesty!

To the best of my knowledge, no. A standard NATO grade gas mask is the bear minimum for protection, it will assure that the virus doesn't get you while it is in the airborne phase. But be warned the infected can easily bit through a suit. So arming the teams will be necessary for their own protection.


Also note that infected people move incredibly slow, they stagger about, moaning and groaning spine-chilling wails of death.

Also note that it makes them oblivious to all danger and pain. Animals will crash through doors and windows, charge straight at you. Crows will fly through windows.


Occ- Resident Evil is a good games, good books, and crappy movie.

After careful examination, the zombies were sedated and sent to a military laboratory for extensive testing and breeding of the virus...

They cannot be sedated, they will eventually decay and die after about 5-6 dies.

Thus far all attempts to delay the decaying process have failed.

Can i put it in an ICBM? I want to store it with proper safety. Freezer? What does my people need if they were to pick the containers up, transportation, just general contact with the IG Virus. And what does the "IG" stand for?

OOC: Anyone seen "Dawn of the Dead"? Yeah...CM's description sounds an awful lot like it.

IC:
Due to the nature of this virus and the relatively little amount of information that is known about it, the GDMO must take preventative measures to ensure that this threat does not pass within our borders.

All persons who have been in Dimmimar within the past 3 months will not be allowed within GDMO borders. All persons who have been in Dimmimar within the past three months and are currently within GDMO borders will be quarantined for symptoms in the meantime and refused exit from the GDMO. All military forces are ordered to avoid contact with Dimmimarian civilian and military personnel.

We regret that we must take these actions, but once the virus can be contained or a cure can be found, these restrictions will be lifted.

We also regret that peacekeeping situations in foreign lands prevent us from devoting a scientific team to the study of this virus at this time.

Good luck in your fight to contain this biological threat,
--CARLA WITHERS, Deputy Minister of Foreign Internal Affairs

Haha, i bet! If i take Turkey, i will change it to Constanople and i will trash every cultural meaningful things to them. Just like they did to Constanople in the 15th century.

I have a large stock of the cure.

We are working on making more resilient strains of the virus


There will the the IG-BS strain. BS= Baldur Schacht (not bullshit), who is working to modify the virus so it can survive in water for 5-10 days. That way we can poison water supplies with it.

We are also thinking of the IG-FS strain. FS= Francisco Salazar (The field marshal who loves chemical weapons) The IG-FS strain will be a mixture of acidic chemical weapons and the IG virus, so it can burn through shelters and such.

It will just be the 4th province of IIRRAAQQII. Our capital is Roma. We have been constructing a new government with the "Empire" and "Emperor" titles only to be symbolic. But if we are attacked, then it shall be symbolic no more. We have less power to the Emperor, internal repairs, etc etc. Our military will now be in Legions of 10,000's. Going by roman numerals of course.
