Xavier's Flu

The year is 2015 and the United States is in a panic. A new
virus has swept the continent on a pandemic level. Mk-24,
otherwise known as "Xavier's Flu," is characterized by 3 days of
high fever, nausea, unquenchable thirst, and a marked blue tinge
to the lips and tips of the fingers. The stress placed on the
body during this period cause at least one third of its victims
to die by the end of the three day period. Others become
infected but never experience symptoms beyond a marginally
higher body temperature that persists interminably. This small
section of the population become carriers of the disease though
no one is sure yet how the virus is spread. While the nation
reeled in the wake of the first month's death toll hospitals
began getting an influx of unusual patients. One third of the
contractors of the disease reported blinding migraines after the
third day preceding what can only be described as supernatural
activity. For the those compatible, the Mk-24 unlocks a hitherto
untapped portion of d.n.a and unleashes latent "mutant"
capabilities present in the genome.
Society as a whole has tried to maintain normalcy however the
criminal potential of those 'unlocked' has government officials
and civilians alike worried over the safety of the nation as
well as the ever increasing numbers of the dead.
