Gnashing of teeth
06/12/10
Should run diagnostic to make sure I'm actually not.
The days are dark and gray. It storms constantly, thunder and rain a constant background.
Blocks out noise. Dangerous.
Have isolated two subjects in the lab. "Dead" and "Live" reanimant.
Series of experiments have determined my earlier hypothesis that "dead" reanimants and "live" reanimants are posses differently evolved strains of Campion. They even recognize scent differently - an experiment run by myself and another colleague, Dmitri.
Dead reanimant campion elusive. Cannot determine cause of reanimation - hard to isolate virus. Must find somehow - and before subject decays altogether. Could just find another one if necessary.
Live reanimant subject no better. Have isolated Campion in bloodstream, but mutagenic nature of virus is, for lack of a better word, insane. It's almost like an IP address scrambler - changing sequence constantly. Explains brain hemmoraghing, destabilization of internal organs and collagen. Body is falling apart due to constant gene sequencing. Potential for rapid and unstable mutation is incredible. It may be only a matter of time before some live reanimants start evolving to that point. Think of a marshmallow peep in the microwave - but on a much larger scale.
Must find an equally vicious carrier to combat isolated pathogen.
Ebola? I have samples. Unlikely. Would work perfectly, but potential side effects are not worth it. If it went wrong, the world would be destroyed by Ebola instead of Campion. Spread far too easily to non-infected as well as infected.
H1NI is mutagenic, but not nearly as rapid. Also unlikely.
A flu carrier might be best... not as dangerous or explosive as something like Ebola, and Campion's original carrier was flu.
Or....
no.
Would it work? Could I...
Dear god. One world-ending virus to kill another. It could work. It could. The one virus we never cured, the fear of the late twentieth century...It could work.
I have not looked at the boarded windows in a very long time now. Or slept.
The rain has not stopped its torrential downpour. The topsoil is washing away.
There is a cemetery near the house. And the dead are buried shallow here.
I don't want to look at the window.
