Alright you heard the Announcment. Raven corps in order to serve to public better need ideas on what would be the nex bestselling bio-weapon. Any and all Ideas from all of you if chosen will have you name next to it to show respect, also a smal portion of sell will go to the idea maker. If you have ideas please place them in the following format


Please state weather or not the weapon will be lethal or not then please list symptoms and incubation period, and small disciption. Raven corps will do the rest

-Lethal

Thank you for your time.

The virus is more like a plant in nature than an animal, when it roots itself to a host, its roots destroy most of the nerve endings. Then it plants itself in the muscles and conducts electricity, causing colvultions. Through the cellular and group-mind, the virus moves the host to make it feed while the virus detroys muscle tissue. Eventually the host dies of exuastion or lack of actual muscle mass, and the body swells up with gasses and polyps/pods. when the body explodes the gasses tansmit the virus by air were it will find a new host.

symptoms: blindness, extreme fever, persistant sweating, peralysis, insanity, canabalism, anemia, and eventually, death.

primary incubations is four days, by day five the body is either depleated or so damaged that it dies, and between three or seven more days for the body to burst, unless tampered with.

You're the designer though so tweek away.

we in this busniess call that convulsing.(SP)

I like the Idea.... Anyone else...

[OOC: Well, Psyker Bearzerkers and yourself may want to read this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virus) to gain some knowledge of what a virus actually is and how it works (what Psyker Bearzerkers described isnt actually possible... not with anything I know of anyway, and certainly not with a virus).

Anyway, in my opinion biological weapons are a waste of time, because they:

1) Will not completely destory an enemy in the way that a nuclear attack will.

2) Will inevitably make their way back to you.

So dont bother. Build something useful, like a load of nuclear tipped ICBMs.]

Technically, you could maybe do it with a fungal infection, although that'd have to be some really messed up fungus. Possibly start with ringworm and engineer your way from there...

Praetonia: bioweapons do have one advantage. They cause greater damage to enemy morale than a nuclear attack, and don't actually kill their victims immediately. Unless the opponent is rather inhumane, they have to devote time and effort to helping the infected. Of course, I still prefer chemical weapons for non-terror tactics.

Never said I was going to create the weapon. Now to the affect that Bio-weapons dont destroy the enemy fully- tell that to the Indians during American Colonization. Colonalist gave blankets and cloths to them knowing that someone sick had worn them. That would be considered use of a bio-weapon. Most of those indian tribes were wiped out because of illness. Plus Bio-weapons do not destory infustructures and installations that may be valuable to the person uising them. But We do enjoy hearing you voice you opinion Praetonia..... Come to think of it you never have like anything I have made.... You really didn't like Nemesis-9 I do believe...

Why does morale matter when you can completely and utterly obliterate every last one of them in a terrible nuclear firestorm of death?

Raven Corps - I was neutral on that OOC, I was just against it IC because I recently been attacked with smallpox.

And I meant to answer the OOC: with a neutral OOC: sorry if I came across harsh.

Nothings wrong with a nuclear Firestorm. I like them, Very Pretty. But If I invade someone I wont to take something. If I nuke it I'll destroy it.

OOC: I'd like a non-lethal weapon that "turns" enemy soldiers gay (along the lines of a weapon the US military was allegedly looking into). Then again, I might have one of my puppets approach you about using that particular weapon. :->

IDEA WITHDRAWN
Was a good idea, but I've decided to develop it solo. Besides, you're nevery seemingly going to actually log on

Then you could use them as food, cannon fodder or even pack animals that can pull waggons!

The crazier the idea the closer you will get to reality, as insane dictators go crushing the enamies spirits before inslavement is the idea of world dominations as they build you giant efigies and monuments. Besides, waiting for the nuclear fall-out, as before been mentioned, is not something most nations are willing to do when they are intrested in obtaining new territories and resources.

And I said plant like in nature, as in how it roots itself as in it doesnt really have roots.

If you look at the polio or AIDS viruses physical make up you get an idea.

The main Idea
IF a weapon could be made to have a very short incubation period
AND it was highly lethal in a short period
AND it spread like crazy
AND it had a short life span

THEN once the war is over you don’t have to worry about it:

‘Brafenburgen’ Hemorrhagic Fever
This is a viral hemorrhagic fever.
Airborne human transmission (though not in non Hominidae strangely)
also transmissible through urine, fecal matter, blood, and saliva..

Symptoms:
Malaise, high fever, severe headache, muscle / joint/ abdominal pain, severe weakness, pharyngitis, nausea, dizziness, facial swelling, vomiting (bloody), diarrhea (bloody), stomach-ache, constipation, dysphagia, hepatitis, pericarditis, hypertension, hypotension, tachycardia, cough, dyspnoea, pleuritis, encephalitis, meningitis, unilateral or bilateral hearing deficit, seizures, internal bleeding, external bleeding from any/all orifices (nose, mouth, rectum, genitals and needle puncture sites), swollen blood vessels, red spots on the skin from subcutaneous bleeding, necrosis, and proteinuria

Incubation period: 7 to 31 hours.
Death: 1 to 2 days after incubation.
Virulence: 99.85% (then 1 out of 666 survive)
Affects: Hominidae (gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans, and humans) and to a lesser extent Hylobatidae (lesser apes) and Cercopithecoidea (old world monkeys)

Treatment: possible but speed limits this. And early symptoms could be a verity of other conditions meaning that often it will be too late

How about an Ebola/Flu hybrid?

Incubation Time: 1 week

Symptoms: (Early) Headache, thirst, mussle pain, sneeze/cough, runny nose, exaustion, uber-feaver.

(Late): bleeding both internally and externally from any opening in the body. vomiting blood, red eyes from swollen blood vessels, red spots on the skin from subcutaneous bleeding, and bleeding from the nose, mouth, rectum, genitals and needle puncture sites. low blood pressure (less than 90mm Hg) organ damage including the kidney and liver by co-localized necrosis, and proteinuria (the presence of proteins in urine). HORRIFIC AND PAINFUL DEATH

Death usually would occur within 5 days of symptoms appearing

I call it... FLUBOLA DREEDAN

OOC:
Hmm, BUMP. Wonder when Raven Corps shall respond - if he doesn't respond tonight I'm going ahead with development of the weapon alone :P
Oh, by the way, if you use my idea can I have production rights for personal production?

I forgot bout this thread.... he ideas
