"The Abyss" is a symbiotic retrovirus that was discovered in the early 2000s. The virus spreads through fluid transmission and is estimated to have a 99.76% chance of infection.[1]
History[]
This virus was isolated in the body of a fish native to the Kermadec Trench east of New Zealand.[1] Its discoverers, an expedition team from the Montpellier University of Marine Science, noted that the virus altered animal bodies to break down fat, improve muscular strength, and develop a skeleton more capable of surviving in high-pressure environments.[1]
Following its discovery, Montpellier worked alongside the FBC to genetically engineer a viral weapon by splicing the Abyss' genetic material into that of the t-Virus.
