P-Influenza

The **P-Influenza** is the antagonistic force in ***"Housekeeper."*** it is an infection outbreak in the Housekeeper Dimension where it appears out of nowhere and infects humans into zombies.

## Background

This plague originated in the 1960s, but the world government hid it for some reason. The outbreak started at September 4, 1976 and a few months later, over 70% of the population has been infected, with the government giving the infected of the name "creature."

The "**P**" used in the disease's name was not known until season 1, but it turned out to be a "**P**article" in season 2. And this has moved on to the association with AI Core. Then is highly presumed that the Particle is named after Okta Particle that was in Kawooka and Kangtawoo held in the Artic. Oz House and the government had been researching the aliens. Somehow, there is a connection between the Okta Particles and the P-Flu.

According to AI Team OZ, Dorothy is believed to have created this virus and it's Hermann who may have spread it. As speculated, Friedrich saw Dorothy and thought, 'You're going to hell' was likely because of the P-Flu.

## Description

### Development

It begins development with a small change within the nucleus of the P-Cells. These cells are malignant cells that take over 95% of the patients bodies. It has an incubation 0f 2-3 weeks. After this period, the changed nucleus are transformed into the malingant cells. It begins to create its own energy and spreads to the body. Although it doesn't stop the functions of the organs much like cancer cells, it does paralyze the brain's functions which makes the victims violent and unable to speak.

The first symptoms are puking blood and the veins visibly shown. In later stages, the iris turns green and the sclera red. In final stages, the iris turns red and the sclera black and the skin turn pinkish red. However, this doesn't always seem the case, as Navil's iris turns red after being infected. The complete infection seems to depend on the individual. Likely that children takes around one hour or at the least less than 5 hours. However, adults seem to take at the max, 4-5 months as seen from Dorothy and Dora.

### Transmission

1. Bites
2. Exposure to body fluids or blood.
3. Unknown Factor - An infectious factor that is still a mystery. This factor caused an incubation period that will turn a human into a creature abruptly.
4. **[Show Spoiler]**AI Core - it is revealed that the AI cores are the source of the infection, though it is unclear the specifics of how it works.

### Common Traits

* Aggression
* Loss of Intellect - Oddly enough, P-cells shut down cranial nerves, especially in the cerebrum.
* Self-Producing Energy - Doesn't require food, though is seem that they can choose to eat. Given that the source of the flu is from the AI cores (and thus Okta Particles), it is likely that infected people obtain some of the abilities of the AI core, that of infinite energy.
* Do not attack own kind - it seems infected are able to recognize other infected people and do not attack them, but they attack other humans and sometimes Androids as well.
* Reproductivity - Infected bites other uninfected to spread the virus more.

### Navil

Navil seems to be a special case, where he is able to maintain his intellect despite being infected. According to Dora Francis, Navil's cells seem to have a specific gene sequence that can suppress the P-flu cells. More specifically, when Navil came to meet with Dora, he had 78% of P-cells in him but is currently 64%, which shows it has decreaseed. Which is why when his gene is injected into others or is bitten by him, their percentage decrease as well. This is more effective on children. However, this is not full-proof as the cells will grow and adapt again.

### Mutation

Martin and his colleagues at the CDC of the EU-0 sector developed a potential cure. At first it seemed to work, especially with the test subject Joshua who recovered language skills, but later the creatures mutated and became even more vicious. Martin himself, ended up having to kill Joshua. The supposed treated ended up creating more strands of the virus, causing new mutations. Apart from viciousness, the mutated creatures also have increased aggression and durability. They also attack other creatures as well. The new mutations are neither human nor creature and completely different genetic structures. From these test, there were 17 new viruses that created.

### Cure & Vaccine

* **Test Cure**
	+ CDC Test Cure - Failed. 17 new viruses created.
	+ Dora's Test Cure - Information Deleted & the CDC had used the test. (Can be recovered by Kaira)
	+ Nevilleland First Test Cure - Failed. The recurrence of symptoms.
	+ Nevilleland Second Test Cure - Unknown.
* **Perfect Cure** - Not Released.
* **Vaccine** - Not Released.

### Weakness

If it's not a variant(mutant), it's just like the common zombie weakness.

It would appear that they do not like water, though the reason is currently unknown.

## Infected

This is not comprehensive list of all the people were infected, but a list of named characters or significant characters. Refer to **Housekeeper Character Page** if needed.

## Trivia

* In the Super string Mobile Game, the zombies are enemies in chapter 9 of the campaign with two models: "*Mutated Civilian"* and "*Completely Mutated Civlian*."
