Solannm works by traveling through the bloodstream, from the initial
point of entry to the brain. Through means not yet fully understood,
the virus uses the cells of the frontal lobe for replication, destroying
them in the process. During this period, all bodily functions cease. By
stopping the heart, the infected subject is rendered ''dead." The brain,
however, remains alive hut dormant, while the virus mutates its cells
into a completely new organ. The most critical trait of this new organ
is its independence from oxygen. By removing the need for this allimportant
resource, the nndead brain can utilize, but is in no way
dependent upon, the complex support mechanism of the human body.
Once mutation is complete, this new organ reanimates the body into a
form that bears little resemblance (physiologically speaking) to the
original corpse. Some bodily functions remain constant, others operate
in a modified capacity, and the remainder shut down completely.
This new organism is a zombie, a member of the living dead.
