The elusive Secronom has a terrifying secret; the N-4 Virus, a genetically modified variant of the feared Devil Rabies created as the perfect bioweapon. It shares most of its symptoms with its progenitor disease, though N-4 induces rapid necrosis. In theory this would result in quick, violent outbursts of the disease which would quickly flame out as its victims succumbed to total bodily collapse. However, somewhere along the way, Secronom's N-4 research was tainted by psychic influence. When live testing began in the town of Lindavista, researchers were surprised to find out that the infected were anything but fragile. Quite the contrary, their rotting bodies seemed to unnaturally resistant to physical trauma. This town was overrun and cordoned by the Oceanykan People's Army, off-limits to everyone but select researchers. The only surefire way to kill them is to aim for the brain.
