OPERATION HATOFUL DOCUMENTS (self-reference)
HUGE BBL SPOILERS WILL FOLLOW, you have been warned.
THE HUMAN REPRESENTATIVE
"To help humans and birds advance hand-in-feather towards a bright and happy future, we have decided to enroll one human in the school starting in the year 2187.
They will be the Human Representative.
The pandemic has long since ended, but we must nonetheless be cautious of the risk of infection with Sumatera Influenza when making our selection.
We will pick a strong, healthy fifteen-year old human who displays hereditary resistance to Sumatera Influenza.
The chosen individual will be a symbol of human concession, to wit, a hostage for birds.
If the Representative is to die in the school, the entire campus will be sealed off, and all the birds inside will be given to the humans as prisoners.
The seal will be lifted twelve hours after the death is confirmed, and the birds will be delivered to the humans.
The school will be declared an extraterritorial zone, and avian protests of any human reprisal will not be tolerated."
OPERATION HATOFUL
Operation Hatoful
These documents detail the isolation and detainment of the Charon Virus found in Fujishiro Nageki, as well as the selection of the human candidate, as read above: Tousaka Hiyoko.
2180: new strains of Sumatera Influenza isolated.
2183: a new strain has been isolated from Fujishiro Nageki. It is lethal to humans, and has been named the Charon Virus. It has entered research at St. Pigeonation's Medical Center.
Presumably, the documents go on to detail what happened the following months, the genetics involved, the actual science, blah blah. Nageki's words on the virus:
"A human would be brought to me. They would struggle, and gasp. And then, with a last, painful sigh, they would stop moving. [...] Simply by breathing the same air as me... they would collapse."
Also included is a map of the old Medical Center, inside the encyclopedia that is hollowed out.
Some of Shuu's words on it for self-reference, which may also be relevant:
"The strain we isolated from the original host was extremely powerful. Quite possibly the deadliest in human history. However, strains of such lethality tend to be fragile themselves. Charon Virus was no exception. It cannot last very long outside of the host's body.
In order to deliver it to the enemy, we would have had to send live carriers into their society, and allowed it to spread via airborne infection. This proved troublesome. Charon Virus, in addition to being harmless to birds, is ill-equipped to establish itself in our bodies. Fujishiro Nageki, the original host, had a rare genetic condition which resulted in a slightly compromised immune system. In his body alone was Charon able to safely reside. Alas, he refused to cooperate.
[...]
Once the virus is inside a human body, it shuts down the respiratory system in a matter of minutes. Technically speaking, it causes an overreaction of the immune system which leads to widespread apoptosis in the lungs, but more simply--any human who comes into contact with [the carrier] will die."
And that's about all that's worth saying; I imagine the documents contain this info in more medical, scientist-y jargon with numbers.
Apparently, also, according to a guidebook scan that's been translated, it literally dissolves the lung tissue, apparently. Kind of horrific. (Don't have a source for this, but when I do I'll probably link it.)
