Natures Reclamation - A DreamSMP AU.

Snuggles the cat ; Context of the AU.

Sean looked at his cat, Snuggles, with a mix of fear and sorrow. The cat had always been his best friend, always there for him through thick and thin, but now something was very wrong. Snuggles began to drool uncontrollably, and his eyes started to glow an uncharacteristic red. Sean knew what was happening, and he could feel his own body starting to tingle. He had contracted the so-called "Animal Mutilation Virus", a strain of rabies that had become particularly virulent in recent years, with the ability to infect and kill humans.

"I'm sorry, Snuggles," Sean whispered, picking up the cat and cradling him in his arms. He knew what had to be done, and he knew that the only way to prevent the spread of the virus was to kill the infected animals before they could infect more. He took a deep breath and picked up his shotgun, aiming it at Snuggles with tear-filled eyes. He knew he had to do it, but a part of him wished he didn't have to.

But as he tried to pull the trigger, a figure burst into the room, knocking down the shotgun and sending it tumbling to the floor. It was a figure in a full-body hazmat suit, carrying a large container of some kind. It was the Cat Cleanup Team, a division of the U.S. government tasked with containing and eliminating the spread of the Animal Mutilating Virus.

The Cat Cleanup Team member quickly sedated Snuggles with a tranquilizer dart and began loading him into the container. Sean watched in silence as his best friend was spirited away, knowing that the virus was now contained and that the lives of countless others had been saved. But still, Sean couldn't shake the feeling of loss and loneliness that now filled the room. It was a small comfort to know that he had done what had to be done, but the cost was high, and Sean would never be the same again.

Sean was shocked and horrified when the Cat Cleanup Team member told him that he was now infected with the Animal Mutilation Virus. He tried to deny it, to convince himself that he was just tired or sick with something else, but deep inside he knew the truth. He had been living in close quarters with Snuggles for far too long to avoid the virus, and it had finally caught up to him.

As the virus began to take hold in Sean's body, he found himself becoming more and more anxious, his heart pounding in his chest and his mind racing with thoughts of what was to come. He knew that the virus was going to spread through his body, attacking his organs and wreaking havoc with his neurological system. He was terrified, and he didn't know what to do.One night, as he lay in bed, trying vainly to sleep, Sean felt something strange happening to him. He started to sweat profusely, his heart racing, and his breathing becoming shallow and fast. He knew that this was it, that the virus had finally taken hold in his body and was about to take him over.

In a moment of clarity, he knew that he had to do something. He couldn't just sit there and let the virus take him over. He had to find a way to stop it, to save himself. With trembling hands, he picked up his phone and started to dial a number, hoping against hope that someone could help him. But as he listened to the ringing on the other side, the phone slipped from his grip and fell to the floor, leaving Sean alone in the dark of his bedroom, his body wracked with the beginnings of the Animal Mutilation Virus's hold.

┆ ° ♡ • ➵ ✩  Animal Symptoms of Mutation / And how to avoid it in humans.

1. Close contact with infected animals: Animals infected with the animal mutating virus can spread the disease through close physical contact with humans. Cats and dogs are commonly infected, and when they rub up against their owners or share bedding, food, or water, they can transmit the virus to humans.

2. Plant growth on animals: As the virus progresses, animals may start to grow small plants out of their fur or body as the virus alters their DNA and causes mutations. This is a sign that the virus is taking hold in the animal's body and may be a clue of a potential later infection in humans.

3. Animal aggression at night: Animals infected with the animal mutating virus can become more aggressive at night, possibly due to the virus altering their brain chemistry. This aggression is a sign that the virus is progressing in the animal's body, and if a human is exposed to the virus, they may also start to become more aggressive at night.

4. Human infection: If a human is exposed to the animal mutating virus through close contact with infected animals, they may start to experience symptoms as the virus multiplies in their body. The signs of human infection can include fever, fatigue, headache, and muscle aches. If left untreated, the virus can progress and cause more serious symptoms such as respiratory difficulty, confusion, and seizures.

If a human is showing symptoms of the animal mutating virus, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. The earlier the virus is detected and treated, the better the prognosis for the individual and the lower the risk of spreading the virus to others. It's essential to follow the guidelines set by the CDC and local health authorities to prevent the spread of the virus, such as avoiding close contact with infected animals, wearing protective gear and washing hands thoroughly after having contact with animals, and reporting any symptoms to a medical professional.

Although, once you have the virus; It will never go away.
