== Description ==
Sentient Viruses, being viruses and thus not being visible to the naked eye, can only be seen with a microscope, and then it appears as a virus that has never been seen before.
== Location ==
These viruses often originate in space or in locations on the earth with extreme conditions. They evolve by finding ways of traveling outside these areas, and thus could turn up in a heavily populated area tomorrow.
== Modus Operandi ==
Sentient Viruses vary greatly. They could have any number of symptoms, any number of methods of contagion, and a number of other different characteristics. The main method of their operation is that they infect a person with no chance to resist. They start out with 1 Fortitude, and then gain 1 Fortitude for every day that they are inside a person. When their Fortitude doubles the Fortitude of the person they are inside of, that person dies. No Fortitude roll can resist this death. While infected, the virus is considered a Parasite according to the rules of the game, under which circumstance it attempts to spread itself using any means until the host dies.
== Neutralization ==
Magick may be helpful, as may Psionic abilities such as Psychometabolism. However, the best way to fight them is by obtaining an antivirus. In many cases an antivirus can be found by obtaining “Patient Zero,” the originating victim of the virus, and pulling antibodies from them.
== Story Seed ==
Months after a U.F.O. crashes in upstate New York, a disease begins afflicting downtown Manhattan with a vengeance. A scientist claims that he has found the source of the virus, and the solution is for a crew to make their way on board the alien vessel and find a member of the crew. While they are most likely all dead, their blood could hold the key to fighting off this virus.
