"Testing subject 011 on the Zika virus." A man in a white lab coat says. "Thank you for volunteering for this project. It means a lot, sense we are desperately trying to find a cure to this. There's already been two outbreaks, so we need a proof read to a cure before it gets out of hand." He says looking down at the man laying down on the medical bed. The man nods, "Of course." The scientist walks out the white room, covering his mouth with a mask, and air locks the door.

He walks over to a small table grabbing a glass cylinder tube filled with mosquitoes. The scientist walks over to the plexiglass window, inserting the cylinder tube into a hatch, twisting it, and opening the hatch so the mosquitoes can enter into the air locked room the man is laying in. The scientist watches as the mosquitoes fly around the room. They are bigger in size, like the same exact size as bullet ants. Not normal for any type of mosquitoes, very rare. Two mosquitoes land on the mans leg and neck, they bite down, as the man flinches. They man tries to not swat them away, but he doesn't have to, because they then fall off of him on to the floor, spilling out the blood they were once sucking up.

Then mans heart beat starts to race as the scientist watches it on the monitor. He starts to breath heavily in between breaths he starts to groan, and cough. Seconds later he lays up and over on his side throwing up yellow fluid. Coughing harder trying to gasp for air, he vomits blood and yellow fluid together, coming out his nose. The scientist watches, his heart rate went from 98 beeps per second, to 120 beeps. He starts to erratically shift in the bed, pulling up on the restraints on his wrist trying to break free. He shakes all over the medical bed screaming and spitting out blood from his mouth. The restraints break loose, and he roams around the room pounding on the walls and the two way mirror.

Th scientist watches, his eyes yellow, skin pale, fingers curled and strained, bodily fluids spilling out his mouth and nose. He makes erratic noise of moaning and groaning. The scientist squints his eyes, looks at the brain monitor. His brain function are somewhat normal. It's as if the host is trying to resist the urge of the virus. But then the scientist comes up with a solution to the virus. The Zika virus, is a parasite. Once bitten by the infected mosquito, the parasite passes threw your body, first your lungs, that is why he was breathing heavily, seconds later, to your stomach, that begins the vomiting. Moments after the parasite moves to your central nervous system, making him act erratically and shift and move uncontrollably. Then after, the parasite moves to the brain, where it then tries to take control of the human, that's why in the monitor, the scientist watches as the brain waves are trying to overcome the influence of the parasite.

The host roams around the room moaning and groaning trying not give in to the parasites influence. After a few moments of watching the brain monitor, the brain turns dark, with only a few lights towards the cerebrum the part of the brain that gets you moving and acting out. But the rest is dark, the YOU part, is gone. The subject/host now roams influenced by the parasite, the host is now fully aware of the parasite inside, but is powerless to do anything to stop it. The scientist sends in a goat, and the host aggressively attacks it, biting down and ripping off the flesh spilling dark red blood everywhere. "He has turned into the infected. Just like the rest." The scientist says to the other as he walks to his side. "Time of life?" The other scientist asks. "5:15am." "Time of death?" "5:25am." "So it appears that host took exactly ten minutes to die." "Not die, become influenced by the parasite. The host is still alive, but not in the human way. It is completely under control of the parasite and it is uncontrollable of its actions. It just attacks and eats." The scientist confirms. "Lower the oxygen level in the room, kill it." The other scientist says.

The scientist nods, dropping the oxygen level to critical, where the subject would start to suffocate. After thirty seconds to the oxygen dropping full level. The subject is still alive and moving. "The subject does not seem to take any effect to the oxygen level. Try poison." The scientist turns a knob and lets in the poison, the subject reacts, barley, only moving and growling more aggressively. Yet, it doesn't go down. "Subject is still responsive and alive. You are going to have to go in there and kill it." The scientist
looks at him, and back at the subject. "It's not in my guidelines to go in there-" "Do you want this to get out into the world and into the news? The virus is becoming stronger. First it was signs of the flu, vomiting, headaches, muscle strains, nausea. Now it's erratic behavior and loss of brain function. You have to get in there and stop it. We need to find a cure before this happens out in public, and out of the city. Get in there now!" The scientist orders. He nods, and proceeds.
