| Description | Resolution | ||
| Our interrogation has suggested the possibility of using the Hydra pherocytes as a delivery system for a biological weapon. Using various methods of persuasion, we've assembled a collection of virologists with expertise in engineered biological warfare. And yes, they got that expertise from exactly where you'd expect. This project is going to be blacker than black – if it gets out that we've assembled this team, half the governments on Earth are going to turn on us. | I can't believe I'm saying this, but we've got some good news. We've finally learned why the Hydras are so frantic about the possibility of biological warfare. Those pherocytes they use to talk to each other go straight into the most vulnerable parts of a Hydra's system without being filtered at all. Which means that if those pherocytes contain something harmful, it gets full access. It's like a human eating poison, except a Hydra can't vomit or spit it out. Of course there's bad news as well – while pherocytes make it incredibly easy to infect a Hydra with a bioweapon, they don't make them any easier to kill. The virologists tried a dozen different viruses designed to attack Hydra tissue or cell structure. None worked. The Hydra immune system is just too strong – as soon as the virus started to spread, the Hydra leucocytes would adapt and wipe it out. Okay, so this is the part that isn't going in the AAR. One of our virologists is a guy I'll call Doctor S. You haven't heard of him, but you'd recognize his work. I really didn't want to bring him on board, but the handful of people who knew him admitted that he was the best. And he delivered. Doctor S. took a different approach to the rest of our team. Instead of trying to beat the Hydra immune system, he came up with a way of compromising it. His virus migrates to the part of the Hydra anatomy they're calling the "bursa," the Hydra equivalent to human bone marrow. Doesn't do any damage, just changes the recipe. The altered bursa produces altered leucocytes, and the altered leucocytes attack the Hydra system. Basically it takes that super-strong immune system the Hydra have, and turns it against them. It starts slow, but once it gets going ... well, let's just say it's effective. I've seen the tests, and I honestly believe we've got the weapon that can win this war. Now we need a delivery system. | ||
