The virus is known as project XV12-56-X-DELTA. It is an ancient retrovirus that was uncovered thanks to climate change melting some permafrost. It can alter the entire genome of an organism with no way of reversing it. Sometimes the changes are just bizarre and random. For example, it randomly gave a dog alligator scales even though the dog never met a gator before. The government scientists involved in the experiment were trying to use it to regrow organs for patients that needed transplants. However, some idiot intern didn't follow lab procedures properly and a sample got into the local water supply. The government was able to contain and destroy the virus but not before 10,000 people were infected.
For the 10,000 infected the government set up a special underground hospital to monitor the condition of those infected. Some patients are experiencing beneficial transformations to either themselves or others, other people are having life or career-ending transformations. Who's story should be followed?
