pre-existing condition.
    4. Jake Riding, 31, Press Photographer.
    5”4’, 62kg, green eyes, brown hair.
    Existing medical condition — ARLD.
    His mother is in the camp. He lost his father and sister just before the Lockdown.
    He was brought in during his transition between the first and second stage, which allowed me to obtain a lot of useful data. He was very coherent at first, discussing his experiences with me, despite his condition. He hasn’t moved on to the third stage yet, despite being here for five days. It has been a very slow and painful process for him—need to figure out what makes the infection affect him slower? He experiences bursts of rage, during which he does a lot of damage to his body. He has also been clawing at his skin regularly, but this has resulted in a lot more damage than specimen two.
    5. Ruby-Ann Eastley, 22, Waitress/Actress.
    5”0’, 52kg pale blue eyes, long blonde hair.
    No existing medical conditions.
    Doesn’t seem to have any family left, came here with a group of friends.
    She has been here for over a week and is still only showing flu-like symptoms. I haven’t been able to determine if this is AM13 or just influenza, but I have to keep her here, just to be safe. Despite the incessant questions from her that I cannot answer, she is tired and woozy, but this doesn’t determine either way. I want to keep an eye on this one because I think if she does transition, she will be very interesting to watch. No damage to her body as yet — will continue to report if things change.
    6. Tyler Williams, 27, Semi-Professional Football Player.
    6”1’, 70kg, green eyes, light brown hair.
    Says in his notes that he’s suffered a sports-related knee injury in the recent months.
    His younger sister is currently in the camp.
    The worst case I currently have. The damage to his body is irreparable. He was brought in during the third stage of infection. His intestines have fallen from a hole in his stomach, three bones are sticking out from his leg. His left leg is at a very uncomfortable angle, but this doesn’t appear to cause him any problems. I have seen a noticeable difference within him. He was very aggressive at first, banging on the glass, even talking a little bit—similar to specimen three, but in the last twelve hours, he has quieted down and slumped to the floor. Given up? Condition worsening? Time will only tell.
    7. Emma Kenshole, 16, GCSE Student.
    5”3’, 51kg, dark brown eyes, dark blonde hair.
    Her notes suggest she may have suffered from anxiety, but with a large question mark, so this information isn’t confirmed.
    Her grandmother is in camp.
    She is the quietest specimen I currently have. She was brought in during stage one. I don’t know if she was coherent or not because she stayed silent. Now in stage two, she looks as if she is suffering the same pain as the others, but she still isn’t making any noise. I haven’t been able to find out any more information about her. According to the board, her grandmother suffers from mild dementia, so isn’t responding well to questioning. I intend to run many more tests on this specimen.
    Age seems to have no impact, nor gender or race. Although I’ve not been given any specific details about race, I can clearly see that skin pigmentation has no impact. Every single specimen has reacted differently to the virus, aside from the basic three stages. A lot of the damage to the victims of the disease will be a huge challenge to repair. If I find a cure, the hospitals will be full. The medical staff, knowledge, and funds are all scarce. I’m sure this will be an added strain, which may not have a high success rate.
    I’ve come to the conclusion that an antidote is the most obvious solution. I know this may not be the ideal answer, nor is it the original purpose for my findings, but I’m positive that it’s the most humane response. If we can save all the current uninfected people from getting the virus, that’s a positive
