The Plague
(working page)
General Info
The plague is a result of Dr. Capek's experimentation with nanotechnology. While it is never fully explained in the game it is theorized that when the nanites enter the body of the target, they first attack the brain, making it so that all neuro-muscular function cease, making the victim fall to the ground. The nanites then proceed replicate, and systematically take over the entire body of the victim, making parts of the body swell up into gruesome bulges. The victim either responds to the nanites by accepting them and becoming a mutant or the body rejects the nanites and the victim dies.

Cure
Curing the plague is fairly straightforward, in Capek's own words, all that needs to be done is stop the replicators. This is done by administering an Antidote. Once the replicators are stopped, the remaining nanites will eventually die, and the body will slowly return back to normal.
