## Plot Overview

### Past

Dora Francis was mentioned a couple years back when a news report mentions her and her vaccine of the Marburg fever as it relates to a new flu pandemic as the president issues a quarantine of EU-Sectors

Sometime after the initial outbreak of the P-Influenza, she and the WMA researchers did their best to find the cure but realize that the disease appeared to be an evolution and gives up with the exception of Dora Francis. On December 8, 1976, Dora attends the Committee Meeting and tried to convince the other committee members that the WMA has a new technology called gene therapy that could solve the problem, but needed 6 more months. Though Willy Anedauer opposes it, Hermann steps in, seemingly taking Dora's, clarifying that Oz House has a quarantine plan prepared to isolate the creatures from humans.

However, just as Dora was getting her hopes up, Hermann revealed that the plan was already rejected by the president, Friedrich Bismarck. To the shock of Dora, Hermann then proceeded to reveal the Venus Project which Dora rejected profusely. However, in the end of the day, the plan was passed.

At some point after, she sents Martin Husten to EU-0 as a back up plan if she is killed so that he can create the cure.

From then on to Christmas Eve, she and those that sided with her tried to reveal the project to the public but was silenced. Her allies were killed, lab destroyed, and she was severely injured. However, Mamiya was there and saved Dora by making a deal with Katarina.

On January 12, 1977, Dora and Mamiya escaped and built a lab in the mountains. During this time, she tries to find the cure with gene therapy. On March 23, Dora Francis was infected somehow but continues researching. On April 25, she thought she found the cure and celebrated but 3 days later realized it was a system error. From then on, she continues up to 15,200 failed sessions of gene therapy and helping the infected.
