Viruses/Vaccines
- Red Horse virus
- Primarily described in Red Horse Vector, the Red Horse virus is a "hardy" biological agent "presenting many of the same symptoms of the Ebola virus without the attending fragility one would expect of Ebola." A video on Red Horse Vector shows the effects of the Red Horse virus on Jed Mather, a U.S. diplomat kidnapped and killed by Algerian terrorists. Additionally, a wiretapped conversation on 1-216-333-1810 describes an attack of an underground nightclub dubbed the "Star Chamber", where the characteristic symptom of "sweating blood" is described.
- The Copper
- A secret, government produced vaccine that prevents a person from contracting the Red Horse virus. The vaccine does have some side-effects such as having orange colored body secretions, having a copper scent (both of which are described in the U.S. Wiretap transcript ), paranoia, aversion to bright lights, and skin sensitivity. Withdrawals from the Copper are reportedly fatal.
