Ebola The Sith version. (Modification of the most deadly virus, making it deadlier)

OOC comments are welcome

“Well, how is our patient today” Dr Azmed Modull asked through an intercom.

“The patient is developing an acute fever doctor, he is entering stage one.”
Doctor Azmed was surprised at this. The patient had only been infected for fourteen hours and now the virus was beginning to take hold of the body, the immune system must have been overrun and soon the patients entire body would be as well.

Inside the air tight room a man was being held on a table. Leather straps held his limbs in place while IV lines extended from his arms filling him with crucial dozes of morphine. The patient motioned to an assistant that he needed to go to the toilet and instead an elaborate tube system was lowered and put into place. Slowly the fluids from inside the mans body were now being funnelled away for collection in another laboratory for analysis. However this was not usual Urine, blood and a thick viscous material swamped his exited fluids. The virus had begun its attack upon the Kidneys.

At a microscopic level the Ebola Viruses were attacking the mans cells, starting off with the Kidneys the virus began to assimilate each cell, combining each RNA strand with the Patients DNA in each cell. The very fabric of what made the patient was being obliterated. What came out of the unholy union between the merging of the RNA and DNA strand was a new virus; of course the cell in question is destroyed in the process and if done in a large scale all that will be left is a thick dead organic goo.

Next to the patient who was infected with the Ebola virus Zaire strain was another poor criminal who was infected with a new version of the virus, a much more deadly one. Though slower to take effect this new virus was much more resilient to U.V light and the harsh conditions of the outside world. This virus was airborne.

The new virus labelled Ebola E, was discovered in the tropical province of Meklinth in the Sith nation. It was believed that all strains of Ebola were classified and captured however thankfully they were wrong.

As each patient became a victim of the virus, the scientists were busy working on their next project. The modification of Ebola.

In a laboratory deep in the depths of Sargoth isle the scientists were busy watching the Interaction between Ebola and the Kidney cells of poor animals that were selected for their organs. The kidneys had been removed from over 100 African monkeys, then subsequently the brown liquid was poured into trays in a warm moist room, so the virus could grow while being monitored by every expert available to the Sith military.

The powerful electron microscopes watched as the Viruses consumed the Kidney cells and multiplied, growing in number the Ebola E strain was providing the Sith military with the perfect weapon to use against their enemies.


Scientific conference. Sargoth Isle C section

“Look as I told you, we will be able to modify the RNA sequences if we can monitor the interaction between the DNA strands.”

“Yes we know that, but it takes time and resources. The military wants this weapon completed as soon as possible. If we delay much longer we will lose our funding.”

The two scientists were the lead minds in the construction and progression of the Ebola operation. Dr Azmed Modull sat at the opposite side of a large Oak table peering at his more ambitious rival Dr Markel Soloch. Modull did not know what to make of his rival obvious ambition to modify the Ebola virus it was already the most deadly killer know to man. However his ideas were interesting.

“Look Azmed, we have not always seen eye to eye on many things, however if we can do what I believe is possible then we will have all the funding we will ever need. Imagine being able to change the time in which it takes Ebola to activate and come out of its dormant state. If we can pull this off we can have out own biological time bomb weapon.”

“yes Markell, but we just don’t have the staff.”

“Then recruit more, look go up to the general, he is a smart man. If he realises what could happen here then not only will we get a weapon but we will be bale to get a cure for almost anything and everything.”

“Very well I will attempt it, however Markell if we do pull this off I want duel credit for it.”

“I wouldn’t give you anything less.” And that closed the meeting. Both men sttod up and proceed to leave the room through two different doors. Azmed had his patients to see to while Markell had his trays.

As Markell entered his office after the discussion with Dr Azmed, he decided that it would be prudent to outline his idea if the general did decide to go for the RNA monitoring programme. Markell sat down at his desk and began to outline his proposal.

Once the Virus RNA strand is mapped out and we will assuredly have the DNA strand of the patient fully mapped we will then be able to gain an idea of the mathematical nature if the interaction. If the amino acids have a quantifiable mathematical value then we will be able to find out how they react with the Codon strings. If both the DNA and RNA strands are mapped out then interactions between the two will give us the value of the elements in the polynomial allowing us to determine how the virus replicates and therefore we will be bale to change the viruses nature to suit ourselves or the militaries discression.


Dr Markell looked at this piece of scruff work and decided that it was essentially what he was intending to do, however he scrunched up this bit of paper for incineration and began work on a more formal version, this was not suitable for the general.

The Genetic Engeneering Center of Solid Water inquires if it is possible to send us a sample of this newest virus. We are willing to pay handsomeley.

[OOC: If that was a secret IC, just ignore this post.]

Sorry but this virus is very very very very secret.

However when the new version is completed once my research has been completed I will be literallyable to modify an create cures for almost any virus.

The IC is secret for now.

OOC: If it kills extremely fast and has an almost 100% mortality rate, it wont be too effective as a weapon, as it will burn itself out before having a chance to spread.

OOC That is why i am rping the modification of the Ebola vrus, essentialy iam going to have it have a 20 day incubation period where the virus is almost undetectable.

OOC:OK, that lets it move around a bit, but if it's airborne its not going to spread anyway until people start coughing and sneezing, and if the people die too soon after coughing and sneezing, it's not gonna do a whole lot. You'd get isolated outbreaks over the whole country, but not major ones. It ain't gonna wipe out whole cities. (And besides, why would you use a weapon that's likely to kill you in a few months anyway?)

well not a long lasting weapons at least i might have a use for it later.

OOC: Just FYI Ebola is spread through contact which means patiants literally sweat the virus out. As for the coughing and sneezing well yes that is the best way for it to become airborn however i was thinking of have a carrier in some kind of crampt hall watching a movie premier or what not. Anyway I do know all about this and how a viurs spreads so please stop giving me information i already know.

well iam doing this very secretly so when i do use it, WHICH I WILL on those nations that have pissed me off it will be hopefull untraceable to me.


And iam quite happy making my own virusses as with the way iam doing it i will also be bale to make a cure, though iam not going to do such a stupid thing.

SEVEN MONTHS LATER


Large trucks began to make their way into the tunnel that connects Sargoth to the Sith mainland, the diesel powered monsters emitting their poisonous fumes into the already smog filled Sithian atmosphere waited in line for authorisation to continue into the high level security area. The trucks, now doubling as prisoner transports for the Sithian prison service held at least forty condemned people. Most nations that kept an eye upon Sargoth isle as most nations would due to it being the centre of most military operations for the Sithian armed forces, would detect a large increase in personnel movement and a large increase in security. The infantry and tank guards had been effectively doubled over the past three weeks.

The trucks moving down the flood lighted tunnel bumped along the uneven road surface, shaking the occupants inside. Each prisoner merely thought that they were being transferred to another prison prior to their execution however none of them would expect that they would be mass executed through painful yet necessary research projects.

As the trucks stopped in the main supply hanger the prisoners were quickly offloaded and led to a cell where they would have the opportunity to eat, wash and get ready for church so they could ask god for forgiveness if the so wished before they died.

As each prisoner was led into their air tight cells, with the only ventilation coming from an extractor fan that controlled the internal environment; the prisoners lay down on their concrete slabs. As they fell into a deep sleep the atmosphere was slowly being contaminated with several newly developed Ebola strains.

While the patients were sleeping Dr Modull and Markell entered the corridor and began to have a look at each patient’s records. The charts on the walls would not grow much longer as each patient was expected to die, and if the viruses did not kill them the firing squads would. “So, what sorry bunch of criminals do we have this time, I do hope they put up more of a fight than the last ones,” Dr Markell began.

“It seems that most of them were brought from Minlolith prison, hmm what do we have here.” Dr Modull began reading off each man and woman’s crimes. “We have a Rapist, a murderer, a paedophile and some communists. Well at least they will be serving their nation in death than they could possibly of had through life.”

“Just as long as they put up more of a fight this time, I would hate to have to order more test subjects.” As Dr Markell finished his last sentence he peered over to a nurse who was monitoring the conditions of each patient. “Have the canisters been ejected yet?” The nurse responded quickly to his superior and quickly checked the levels in the canisters from his control console.

“All canisters are now fully emptied sir we have full atmospheric saturation of the cells atmosphere now.”

“Excellent, contact me when they begin to show symptoms of stage one.”

“Yes Sir”

Location Sith Reichstag

The Advisor to the new Sithian Leader moved down the large corridor connecting the reception room to the Presidents private office. The vast Volcano that overshadowed the Sith capital was pouring out constant streams of ash. The lightning storms and flashes sprung into the corridor giving light to the advisors twisted features. As he neared the door to the office two guards stopped him and demanded identification, the advisor knowing all to well the fear he threw into the lives of most Sithian men merely walked forward and opened the doors to the office. The guards wisely done nothing.

“We need to talk.” The advisor merely said to his supposed leader.

Heinrich surprised by this sudden intrusion turned away from the large rectangular window, after spending almost an hour gazing up at the Magma spewing volcano that guarded the Sith capital he had to wait a few minutes before his eyes adjusted to the internal light of the room. “And, pray tell. What is it that we need to talk about?”

The advisor obviously angered by this merely walked up to the premier, “You know full well what we have to talk about. You authorised the transfer of the prisoners to Sargoth. IDIOT, now we have left a paper trail. The test subjects were supposed to come from the streets, they were supposed to be people that would not be missed, they were supposed to be merely disappeared, Bahhh.” The advisor now in obvious exasperation turned to the large window. “Well there is no turning back now, Dr’s Modull and Markell have made stunning progress, they anticipate the first viral warhead to be completed with two months. They are just making the finishing touches to the new strains.” The advisor peered at his premier, the man he had installed in the seat of power. His son, his slave.

“Very well, we will need to begin phase two, we need to start infiltrating that bastard of a nation.”

“Yes I agree, I will have our agents begin.”

OOC: I am now looking for some nations that will be willing to have a terrorist strike happen upon their nation. Or am I just going to have to choose someone at random. Essentialy iam just looking for a modern tech war which will happen at the end of this terroist strike.
