This virus replicates in the reproductive system of an adult female wasp, and is required to parasitize the host larva. The female wasp injects its egg and the virus into the larva and thus suppresses the immune system of the larva, triggering certain physiological and developmental changes to occur in the larva,…

played in the curing of the Bee Virus. She is known for many things; the woman who helped establish and spread a Cure for a Virus, the wife of Dreydon Bowen--the leader of the district--and the first of the infected to be cured. But, of course, that's not where her story began. Her story started earlier, much earlier. Not much is known about her life before the bee extinction loomed and the Virus.

Astonishingly, three weeks ago, I…

First it was a manmade virus from a military base in California, later causing the death of the American Empire. As I lay in my deathbed, I recall the beginning of the end. Hallucinations brought on by the virus, enhanced by the lack of oxygen and pain of death. It is the first day I fail to get out of bed. I stare at the ceiling, and slowly the dull blue…

Sasser virus. I honestly don’t know how to feel about this. I am a bit scared…or maybe worried. Yeah, worried is a better term. The National Health and Safety Corporation said they would be able to give us more information about the virus in time as they study it. I hope this is just another temporary scare.
