The Contagion is replicating inside your body, becoming stronger and more infectious. Any corpus damage sustained represents a potential exposure to the Contagion as does a metaphysical intrusion (e.g., The Caul, the Marionette). Due to the pallor of ill health and your general feeling of malaise, you suffer a –1 penalty to all Physical and Social actions; however, the Contagious will not attack you unless provoked, seeing you as one of their own. If you abstain from using the Key of the Contagion for (6 – Stamina) days, you regress to the Latent Condition. If you dramatically fail a roll to unlock the Key of the Contagion while Replicating, or if you use it more than times than your Stamina rating in one chapter, you progress to the Shedding Condition.
Possible Sources: Failing a roll to unlock the Key of the Contagion while Latent.
Resolution: Regress to Latent; progress to Shedding.
Beat: Transmit the Contagion to another person or to Infrastructure.
