HC-191-B

HC-191-B, also known as Stone Cancer, is the most common disease in the Border. Identifying traits include coughing, grey or grey-green skin color and loss of cosmetics.
== Stages ==
==== Stage 1 ====
This stage has no symptoms, but it is scannable.
==== Stage 2 ====
The host will begin to cough. In addition, the host's face will be replaced by the 'Tired Face' from the ROBLOX catalog, and the host's skin will turn a grey-green color.
==== Stage 3 ====
The host's coughs will become more intense. In addition, the host's cosmetics will begin to disappear, and their skin will turn a darker shade of grey.
==== Stage 4 ====
The host's coughs will become more frequent and anguished. The host's skin will also turn a darker shade of grey.
==== Stage 5 ====
The host dies, and will either respawn with symptoms or no symptoms. Respawning symptomless does not mean that the host is no longer infected.
== Contingencies ==
Due to HC being relatively tame compared to other diseases, most of these contingencies are unnecessary. However, in case they do occur, you should still follow them.
==== Protocol: Outbreak ====
It is statistically improbable that HC-191-B will cause an outbreak. However, you are free to notify ARD if a large number of personnel have HC.
==== Other Protocols ====
If you are infected with HC, hug a nearby wall and alert an ARD that you are infected. Notify personnel nearby that you are infected, and to avoid contact. If you die before ARD arrive, hug the wall at the end of the corridor connecting the mess hall and the armory.
== Lore ==
HC-190-C was originally created as an Iraqi chemical weapon. It was found in a secret chemical weapons facility that was raided by US Marines outside of Baghdad. The Marines had come back with 1 squad infected by HC-191-C and was taken to ARD for advanced treatment. From what researchers say, HC-190-C is a radiation-exposed variant of the flu. HC-191-C attacks the lungs and brain, which causes difficulty breathing and depression in the host. It also causes the infected individual's skin to turn into a stone grey pigment. HC-190-C does not stand out as a particularly dangerous disease, and can be treated easily with proper equipment.
[Update] 02/01/2140
Due to exposure to the radiation from dropped nuclear bombs, the now-reclassified HC-191-B has become more dangerous. HC-191-B is now capable of killing multiple groups of people, and will now attack much more than last time; all forms of common medication have failed to stop or slow it down. HC-191-B now attacks the brain, spine, lungs, and stomach. The infected individual will first cough due to complications with the lungs as stated previously, and they will also start to become depressed as well as lose cognitive functions due to the virus attacking the brain. The host will also receive painful cramps as the virus attacks their spine and stomach. Once the virus has converted the infected individual's lungs into stone it irritates the stomach acid melting the stomach. HC-191-B’s primary means of transmission is through the air.
