Have been gone

I'm sorry, I failed to mention that I have been out on a business trip. I haven't been able to update the blog for that reason, however I will continue starting tomorrow. Thanks.

Isabella Foot Note

I will start by typing out what the foot note says at the bottom of the first report. The first report is when the symptoms were first visible on Isabella, the mutation of her left eye. It is described as 'added tissue to the left eye and the left cheek'. It's hard to visualize; all of the photos that were included in every report in every document that was given to me by Telather Creed were deliberately removed. Perhaps he thought that they would shock me?

The foot note is written by hand:

"I will save Isabella if it costs me my life. I owe her the world."

I'm going to try and scan in the report, but I might just type it out. Whatever takes less time.

The first documented infection

I have a hunch that I have found what I have been looking for. The information on this particular case is documented differently than any other infection and the virus is not even classified as a virus at first:

'SYMPTOMS: MUTATION OF THE LEFT EYE
CAUSE: UNKNOWN - NOT RADIATION'

It's not until about a week later that it's identified as a disease. It was a little girl named Isabella Bottan, daughter to a Dr. Bottan and Dr. Julie Jones Bottan. The first name of the father, who also was making the observations and recording all of the information, was omitted, almost intentionally. There were even handwritten notes with the first name scratched out.

I don't have much time to post tonight but I will begin to post her progress from day 1.

Spread

I am still looking for the first documented infection, but these files were not organized at all when they were given to me. I discovered this in a newspaper clipping this morning:

"The disease can spread in many ways, but researchers say the reason this disease has become an epidemic is because it has been spreading through head lice. It is said that the virus and lice possess 'a strange symbiotic relationship'. Through this new discovery, scientist feel they can step forward. Dr. Dorius Sin of the Lazarus Union gave us this statement.
'After learning that lice is what's spreading this, not that it's mainly spreading as an airborne illness, this opens up new doors for us. We can find out a way to generally stop this from spreading all over the U.S. and worldwide.'
Just remember, If your head begins to itch, you could be infected."

I find the name Dorius Sin very strange, as I do the name Telather Creed (the man who apparently delivered all of this information.)

Shelby the Gorilla

It is an exponential process. This picture was drawn 3 months after she began to mutate. Apparently, mutation begins immediately after being infected. Mutation always occurs at random; most every documented case has a different mutation and in most fatal cases, mutation occurs on internal organs.

Another Restless Night.

I was trying to sleep, but I couldn't help but scan through these documents. This virus is a startling discovery, after all.
While I was looking for the first documented infection, I found a particular set of documents that sparked my interests. They chronicle the life and infection of a gorilla named "Shelby" that was in captivity since birth. It must have been an early infection as the documents initially make it clear that it is an 'unknown disease'.
There was a picture drawn to reflect what the gorilla looked like after it had been mutated. It was the first visual representation of the effects of contracting the virus that I have seen and it shocked me. I will upload this photo soon, but for now I need some rest.

Caught my eye.

Reading over these documents has proven very interesting. Just a few things I would like to note that have caught my eye. There seems to be mutations in all cases of infection. Some mutations prove fatal, some don't. There also seems to be some mention of this virus infecting plants, also. I have been searching for the first documented infection by the 'Sentient Virus', (the name that it was given I guess, although some documented infections state 'Belle's Disease') but these documents are unruly, as if they were hastily filed and sent to my office.
The most startling thing I have discovered is that in some cases, the virus has been mind affecting; as if the virus gained control over the host.

More when I have time, going to sleep.
