The protein is very much like a prion in form, and mostly in activity, but
is being slightly different. For this reason, i will calling it a protein
fragment instead, and i will explaining the differences later. For now i
am only saying that this is very good that it is different. First i want
to tell the vector: how it is coming into the victim. I am calling it the
Ork Encephalopathy protein fragment (pfOE after now). In the sample, pfOE
was together with an iron based heme-like compound. This makes it come
into the blood, like hemoglobin. There was also attached an iodine based
part which makes it come through the skin quickly. The best way to come
into the body is being breathed, but normal skin contact also works. I am
thinking it can also be swallowed, in water or food, but i can not test
this now. With the iron and iodine part, it will not dissolve in water,
but these parts are not needed if it is to be putting in water. With out
them it should dissolving in water.
Now how it is working. A prion is a protein that is occuring naturally in
the body. The disease causing form is EXACTLY the same as the normal form,
but is folded up different. The different folding makes it act
differently, making the disease, and disease-form prions make normal prions
change shape into disease form. This is bad because it is impossible to
make antibodies because the body thinks the bad prion is supposed to be
there (it looks the same as the normally folded prion). pfOE works
similar, because it is making a normal protein change shape into a not
normal form. However, it is not itself natural to the body, so we can
making an antibody. What is happening is that the pfOE is entering the
body, and finds a normal protein in the nervous system. I am thinking that
this target protein is unique to Orks. I know it is not in Humans, but i
am not yet testing other metahumans. Anyway, pfOE finds an Ork brain
protein. It then is binding to the protein and making it fold around in a
new way. pfOE breaks off and finds another protein to change. The changed
protein has a very bad effect on the nervous system. Maybe it has an
important function and gets inactive, or maybe it get super-active, i am
not yet knowing this. THe symptoms from Tiny were high fevers, losing motor
control, and irregular heart rate and breathing. Because of this, i am
thinking it affects the sympathetic nerves, and in bad cases, the victim
just can not breath and the heart is stopping.
The good news is that pfOE is not natural to the body, and so i can make a
vaccine against it. I think i am having now an inactive form that i can
give to someone to make immune, but i still need to test it. If ANYONE
(must be an Ork) will volunteer, i can almost guarantee not bad effects.
At most, you will be sick for one week. I know this because Tiny had no
vaccine and he is OK now. The test person will be exposed to less than
Tiny had and should have no bad effects. Frau Jasmine, maybe we can be
offer some money to the person to volunteering? It is very important.
Aardvark, i could have using a sample of that coffee during the data
crunching. Too late now.]<<<<<
