Remember:
- You can obtain symptom levels 1 and 2 with Virus Food, which you start with a dispenser full of. For symptom levels 3 and 4 you will need to acquire Unstable Mutagen. Levels 5 and 6 requires liquid plasma.
- Higher Resistance means the virus will be harder to cure and the cure will be a more rare substance.
- Higher overall transmittable level means the virus will generally have a more dangerous method of infection.
##How-to Virology
###Methods of infection
- Airborne - The most dangerous and quick spreading, if you are anywhere within the breathing area of the infected crew member, you have a chance to be infected.
- Direct Contact - Requires you to touch, been touched, or be extremely close to the source of the infection. The infection will be spread by the skin and bodily fluids of an infected person, but will not survive long in the air.
- Blood - The infection will be spread by the bodily fluids of the infected person.
- Special - The disease is not normally contagious and the affected crewman has been infected by a non-human vector source. You can work with the infected without risk yourself unless they expose you to the same vector source that infected them.
###Protection (TODO) To prevent yourself from contracting diseases it is recommended to always keep some protection ready.
###Curing an Infection:
After all the time of doing nothing, being a monkey murderer, you hear a cry for help trough the radio. Someone has finally called for the virologist, you, for the help and you only know how to slay and mutate monkeys? That's alright, here is what you need to do:
- Shove the subject in an isolated room, to prevent the disease from spreading.
- (OPTIONAL) Grab a syringe.
- (OPTIONAL) Steal his blood. Alternatively you could ask him but you're a badass and you don't care.
- (OPTIONAL) Put some of the blood into a beaker or a bottle.
- (OPTIONAL) Stick that beaker in the PanD.E.M.I.C. 2200.
- Identify the virus ( PanD.E.M.I.C. 2200 or a health scanner ).
- Supply your patient with a steady supply of shown cure.
###Creating a Vaccine: After curing a patient, his body creates anti-bodies for the disease he has contracted. You can use these anti-bodies to cure everyone else and create vaccines so the diseases never show up again.
- Take some of the patients blood.
- Put the blood in a beaker into the PanD.E.M.I.C. 2200.
- Hit the Create a Vaccine button
- Distribute it!
##List of known diseases:
| Disease Name | Vector name | Description | Spread | Cure |

| Rhumba Beat | Unknown | There is only one man in the history of humanity, who lived trough this disease. His name is unknown though. Makes you feel the Rhumba Beat | Contact | Chick Chicky Boom! |
| Space Retrovirus | S4E1 Retrovirus | DNA-Altering virus found in some variations of slimes. May continuously cause genetic mutations. | Contact | Ryetalin |
| Spanish Inquisition Flu | 1nqu1s1t10n Flu Virion | A mutation of the Flu so rare, you just never expect it. The subject will burn on the inside, like the heretic he is. | Airborne | Spaceacillin |
| Wizarditis | Rincewindus Vulgaris | Rumored to be the cause of the Wizard Federation. Apparently it turns people to wizards | Airborne | The Manly Dorf |
##Advanced Diseases
###Disease Statistics Each disease can be described using these 5 properties:
- Stealth - Modifies the visibility of the virus to medical scanners and other means of identification. Higher value means harder to identify.
- Resistance - Higher value means, to cure the disease you will need to use a stronger, harder to come by cure.
- Stage Speed - Affects the speed at which the virus will reach higher stages.
- Transmittable - Describes the speed and the ability to spread. Low value makes the virus spread by blood, each higher value has a more effective way.
- Symptoms - The effects of disease you are dealing with.
To figure out the values of these properties all you need to do is add up the properties of symptoms used in the disease.
