Many in Mississippi have pointed to the deaths of 74 scientists and other researchers at the Schacht Advanced Pharmaceuticals Research Inc, over the last six months, as signs of a bizarre cover-up and conspiracy. The men had all died in seemingly unrelated ways, but still, that is not enough for some. Many maintain that something insidious is at work.
The manner in which the men died:
21: Automobile accidents
12: Hunting accidents
11: Suicide
10: Structure fires
8: Heart failure
5: Food poisoning
3: Homicide
2: Drowning
1: Asphyxiation
1: Skydiving accident

Doctor Schacht was reading over the latest conspiracy papers that were calling for his company to be more open about what the 74 dead scientists had been working on. He set the paper down and said aloud to himself, "You know what, they wouldn't believe me if I told them..."
He glanced down at the monitor in his private office at the Memphis research facility, he was watching the scientists move about down in the lower levels of the lab. They had made the V-Virus, so named because V meant five in Roman numerals, and the virus had been nicknamed "The Fifth Horseman", by the scientist who pioneered the project, a man who had met a most unfortunate end when his parachute failed to open. The virus was so deadly it was said that it could be an end of the world all on its own, and so the man named it something befitting such a virus.
The capabilities of the virus astounded Baldur, it had a 98.5% communicability rate, and in the proper concentration it would kill an adult in between 60 to 360 seconds. If exposure was minimal or one gained it from an initial infected, death would ensue in between one to three days. The symptoms would vary from person to person, but were not unlike those associated with influenza, Ebola. The biggest indicators of infection were severe cough and spitting up of blood and mucus.
The virus was lytic, meaning it traveled through the bloodstream at the heart-rate, being pumped into all the cells, being diffused into each cell where it will lyse the cell, turning the cell into a factory of replication for more viruses, and then exploding out of the cell, sending more viruses out onto other cells. Within six minutes, if the initial exposure is sufficiently high, the host will be dead.
