“Welcome back to Channel 3 News, I'm Jack O'Bannon. To recap the situation, it has been twenty-eight days since the mysterious virus epidemic had hit the world. No cure has been developed yet for the the illness, dubbed the ‘Bear virus’ by everyday people due to it’s effects. As viewers may recall the illness affects both males and females, but it does not appear to cause any fatal ill-effects on those infected; rather, the symptoms caused by the illness result in the victim losing their male biological characteristics and having them replaced with feminine characteristics. It also results in height increases ranging from 9ft to 12ft, the latter being the current record; bodies being flooded with an overload of estrogen hormones, leading to the extreme growth of female attributes mainly in the chest and hip areas, as well as the appearance of a thick coat of body hair. The infected have also been seen to develop additional symptoms wherein some experience extreme mammary growth, whilst other swell with alarming amounts of body fat. The infected, known as ‘Mega-Bears’, whilst for the first hour they’re initially focused on their uncontrolled sexual urges, they will eventually calm down after sating their urges and regain their initial personalities, though they have been noted to have 'flare ups' that see them reduced once again to semi-feral beasts. How they'll deal with being a hulking beast, of course, depends on their pre-existing personality. After the break we'll speak to two of the infected; Doctor Charles McGrath, and Columnist John Creesly on their take regarding their, shall we say, recent ‘transitions'?
Both of these infected individuals have taken to changing their names to be more fitting of their new forms. We'll be right back after this commercial break.”
