Fellow Lost Survivor,
You are not going to believe this, but I saw a lone Lost that was behaving rather strangely today.
I cannot explain why, but it was more aware and active than any other poor soul that I've come across in the passing days.
Where did they come from? And how does this infection even work?
There might be something in these transmission logs that can shed a little light on what exactly happens to them.
Let me dig around for more info — perhaps Telos have kept better records of this!
‣ The Shezmu virus is primarily transmitted through the biting/infusion of saliva from an infected individual. Blood transmission is also possible, although circumstances are rare.
‣ Those with O-Negative blood are immune to succumbing to the virus' tertiary and final stage. However the lasting impacts of exposure require further study.
‣ Estimated Reanimation Time (ERT) varies from several minutes to several hours, depending on the host.
‣ Recorded tests show that some individuals possess erratic movement speed after losing themselves to the infection. However, this is rare and has been known to decline over time.
‣ Local attempts have been made to capture one of these faster specimens — however, this has not been achieved due to the non-regulation weight of our Telos field agent.
Fair enough! That explains what I saw, but there's still so much to understand about the virus.
Isn't it a little strange for Telos to be capturing and testing the Lost?
Oh well, I'm sure it's all in the good name of science.
If they can come up with a cure for the rest of us, that would make my life a lot easier!
Stay safe out there!
