Intro. A new virus had been accidently released from a lab. It is transfered through touch mainly, but only if someone is mid transition. As soon as someone has fully changed they are no longer infected. Animals that have fully changed amazingly have retained there cognitive functions and are capable of speach and complex thinking. Schools have even start creating new class for students who have changed. There is no cure. The virus has been around for about 5 years now, its a well known fact of life these days.
