Viruses are hostile microbes that damage the stem cell and infect friendly cells. Infected cells can produce a mixture of more viruses and toxins.

Behavior[ | ]
Viruses move toward the stem cell along the shortest open route. If blocked, they will immediately attempt to infect the blocking cell, turning it into an Infected cell. There is also a small chance that a virus attacks any friendly cell at random. Infecting a friendly cell "expends" the virus (it dies in the process of infection).
Variants[ | ]
There are currently four known variants of virus; Hepatitis A, HPV, Measles, and Influenza.
Hepatitis A[ | ]
Slow moving, Hepatitis A never wanders to attack friendly cells, making it easy to defeat.
HPV[ | ]
Slow moving and not particularly dangerous, the HPV can be a much bigger challenge when combined with other infections.
Measles[ | ]
The measles virus is faster moving and causes very virulent infections.
Influenza[ | ]
In many respects similar to HPV, influenza causes much more dangerous infected cells that last considerably longer, and it has more health.
