Incubation: The virus has a degenerative incubation period, decreasing in time depending on the generation of the virus. The virus will lay dormant for 1-3 hours depending on the infected individual, after which the individual will enter a sleep state ranging from a few days to mere minutes. During the sleep state the body of the infected individual will undergo a mutation that is common in all forms of the virus. First, bleeding from the eyes, ears, and nose will occur. Following that will be the paling of the skin and darkening of the eyes. After this has occurred there isn't much time left before the individual awakes from the sleep state.
Infection: Infection occurs when the DNA of an infected enters the body of a healthy person, this can happen in various ways. First being exposure of an open wound to the saliva or blood of an infected. Next would be a scratch or bite from an infected. The most uncommon way, yet still very possible, is the airborne transmission of the virus. Exposure to the air around an infected for extended periods of time can also lead to infection.
Mutations
Roamers: Roamers are fast, agile, and resilient. They are the most commonly encounter type of the infected due to the fact that most people that become infected enter the incubation period in similar environments. Due to them being the most numerous of the infected, the virus they carry has also mutated the most. Incubation has a very short time frame ranging from a few hours to minutes, but due to the rapid rate of mutation the virus cannot live airborne for very long meaning airborne infection is next to impossible.
