CZ-131-A

CZ-131-A, also known as the Flare Virus, is a highly dangerous Class-A infection. Its most identifying traits include purple skin, groaning, and "ghoulish" face. After progressing through all its stages, it turns its victim into a highly aggressive zombie.
== Stages ==
==== Stage 1 ====
Stage 1 of the Flare Virus has no symptoms, but it is scannable.
==== Stage 2 ====
The host of the virus will begin to wander distances of 0.5-5 studs unwillingly.
==== Stage 3 ====
The host's left arm turns purple, and the host's face turns "ghoulish" (replacing the subject's face with the 'Angry Zombie' face from the ROBLOX catalog). In addition, the host will begin to make unintelligible noises (such as grunts, moans, and screams), and it will become more difficult to restrain the host from involuntary movements.
==== Stage 4 ====
The host will start to fall over without control. In addition, the host's entire body turns purple, the host's face becomes more grotesque, and the left arm falls off. This stage is usually quite short.
==== Stage 5 ====
The host dies, and is replaced by a highly aggressive zombie. This zombie is shown to have super strength, jumping extremely high and dealing high amounts of damage to those in close range. However, the virus is not contagious at this stage.
== Contingencies ==
==== Protocol: Outbreak ====
During an outbreak protocol, you should not panic. Instead, head to the hangar and hug a wall. ARD personnel will arrive on scene to handle the situation. Comply with all orders that SC and ARD give you.
==== Other Protocols ====
If you get infected outside of an outbreak protocol, immediately contact ARD and isolate yourself into the nearest closed room. If you die, isolate yourself at the end of the armory corridor connecting to the mess hall and wait for ARD or Protocol: Outbreak. Avoid contact with other personnel when waiting for ARD.
== Lore ==
It’s nearing the end of the resource wars and it’s clear the war will not come to an end. Rivaling factions are continuing to attack AEGIS facilities and stealing their resources. Its clear AEGIS needs a weapon to silently eliminate its enemies without having to result in a total nuclear war. ARD experiments with mutating different forms of [REDACTED] and after 3 years of development they create the first strain of CZ-129-B. 
CZ-129-B is a neurological bioweapon. It routes itself into the host and severs the spinal cord then causes the brain to hemorrhage. This virus was engineered to be airborne and able to coat an area making it impossible for hostile forces to evacuate survivors. This project was kept classified and any information about its existence was filtered with misinformation to act as a cover-up. 
CZ-130-B was the first mutation ever detected by ARD personnel. The mutation caused the virus to instead of destroying the host but to turn them into a lifeless for better words vegetable. The host was still partially alive but their memories and what they once were had been suppressed by the virus. ARD personnel deemed the virus still viable for attack runs just CBRN combat forces would have to finish the job.
CZ-131-B was the second mutation of CZ. This mutation was the final mutation of the virus. It leads to what it is today. The mutation eliminates the host during the almost lifeless state but then hijacks the prefrontal cortex and other brain functions. This only happens once the infected subject was near death. This strain of the virus is the most lethal and dangerous as it enhances the individual’s reflexes, strength, and agility. The subject becomes a host for the virus to begin doing its purpose to kill anything and everything.
A week after the discovery of the second mutation the Board of Directors, Table of Military Leadership, and ARD command reclassified this virus to A classification. The Chairman himself signed the order.
CZ-131-B is the product of a Russian bomb dropped outside of the Aegami border site. The bomb was called “Mat’ Putina” and it was dropped in the Zone-14 area. When ARD scouts have moved to the area they saw that the entire downtown area was destroyed with only the factory intact, as ARD moved in, they saw purple zombies guarding the factory. They were terminated, but we had found out that mutation from radiation is possible from the Russian's bomb. Samples have been sent to other AEGIS sites but the automated VoTL system keeps dropping CZ crates into the wasteland instead of at the site. The infected hosts show no pain or emotion and just have a desire to eat and infect. Additional virus info has been sent to ARD. CZ attacks the skin tissue, brain, and muscles. CZ will put the ability into overdrive giving them enhanced agility. In stage 1, the infected shows no external changes but inside it is copying itself at an unprecedented rate. Stage 2, The subject's vocal cords are melted and his arm is discolored. This starts the Leprosy phase. The subject begins to fidget, showing signs of ADHD. Stage 3, their body is completely discolored and the Leprosy makes the infected lose their left arm. Stage 4, they stumble to move Fallin repeatedly. Stage 5, has 2 parts. First part is death where the infected dies, but their cortex is restarted by the virus resurrecting the once dead individual. We do not know what other compounds were used in the bomb that made Radiation do this, but we know that NATO and Communist countries had bombs that had the same effect.
