## *It.*

    Mutant S002, also known as “Der Mond,” which is German for “The Moon,” is an incredibly dangerous mutant that spawns worldwide during Fall. It appears to have a bright gray appearance, and any photograph taken of it will be heavily distorted due to its severely glowing and dangerous nature. It also appears to take place of the moon, though it’s unknown how it does so. Because of this, it’s advocated to not go outside at night during Fall, or else you’ll get burned by it. Unlike the **actual** moon, it does not reflect light from the sun. Instead, it uses bioluminescence via chemicals mounted in the rock, to glow and supposedly burn any people who come in contact with the light. Although Der Mond is often white, it can also appear like a Harvest Moon, because of it being Fall. When one comes in contact with the Harvest Moon variant, the light coming from Der Mond will be a lot more subtle, though long periods of contact with the light will still cause burns and rashes. For the short period of time to spend in the tranquil light, you will hear rain, even if there isn’t any nearby, and you will feel this relaxing sensation. Images of Der Mond in this phase will have the same properties, but a lot more severe. Okay, I’m done explaining this in a document-type form now, time to explain my experience. *This mutant was actually found back in November of 2069. By me. I made the mistake of going outside at night, and got exposed to Der Mond. Shortly after, I got rashes n’ stuff, and here I am. I was treated as soon as possible, though. Just don’t go outside when it’s Fall at night. I doubt you can avoid it.*
## *Devoid, Void, & Avoid.*

The best way to avoid Der Mond is to just not go outside at night in Fall in general. There’s no possible way to avoid it, so you’re practically helpless. The only way to stop any burns and rashes on your body before they get worse is get treated, but even then, there’s a calculated 14% chance of death.

## *Illness.*

Surprisingly enough, there’s actually a “disease” that you can get while being exposed to the light from Der Mond. There are four stages, and the disease is named “Mondkrankheit,” which is German for “Moon Disease.” There’s approximately a 97% death rate when it isn’t treated, so it’s recommended to get treated as you as you get exposed to it.

### Stage 1

During Stage 1, one will get rashes and burns in the exposed area, and will begin to wheeze excessively. They will also feel nauseous, though it’s actually quite rare to throw up during Stage 1. One can also feel prickling in the exposed area, making it difficult to deal with immediately. Stage 1 is the only stage that can be fully treated, however, it’ll not vaccinate you.

### Stage 2

During Stage 2, one will begin to notice rashes and burns begin to spread across the body. As well as scabs appearing in the exposed area. This happens only two days after Stage 1, meaning that if you haven’t already got Stage 1 dealt with, you will have more problems later on. Other symptoms include, severe prickling, itching, vomiting, and urge to pick the exposed area. This is the only other stage that can be treated, however it cannot be fully treated.

### Stage 3

By Stage 3, burns and rashes are all over your body, and you can have occasional seizures. The exposed area will have pins and needles, and there’s also prickling all over your body. You also vomit very often, and you constantly feel dizzy. Other symptoms include, abdominal pain, chest pain, and nosebleeds. This stage cannot be treated, meaning your body is beyond repair by then. This happens 5 days after Stage 2.

### Stage 4

During Stage 4, the patient will die from shock, due to pain and prickling all over the body. In rare cases, they won’t die from shock, but may end up comatose, or dead later on in life. Obviously enough, this stage cannot be treated.

## *When?*

Its unknown how Der Mond formed, but it’s suggested that a mutant of some sorts somehow copied the image of the moon, and preceded to become an extremely dangerous mutant. However, it’s still completely unknown.
