I know, but of all the factions involved, I can most easily see the Buyuk unleashing it on other humans, probably the Warsaw Pact and associated EIT allies.

From what I know about the War on Gaea, it's more of a grey vs. grey war than a black vs. white one, in that the evil expansionist empire is kind of helping humanity out (obstensibly, at least) and the "good guys" are the ones who unleash genocide. I imagine that in a world with superhero groups, the fractitious nature of the war would be ramped up to 11, with a bunch of heroes from different sides of the conflict fighting in a sort of "third world war". It's something like I imagine the Civil War event played out, except with aliens. I've got some plans for it, but I guess I'll post them in more detail elsewhere. Suffice it to say that while good ol' Earth survives, things aren't exactly rosy for superpowered individuals.

But I digress, the virus. I'm still on the fence regarding how closely it will be tied to superpowers, and it could be that I'll just have a story arc which is like "Buyuk ship returns to Earth and unleashes horrible disease which turns people into mindless zombified thralls of alien power", sort of like 28 Days Later meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Still, I might have government experiments with the Racuna turn up unexpected side effects, like, I dunno, they manage to get it to make non-cancerous cells and turn it into a Captain America-style supersoldier thing.

As for questions, I'd still like some more details on the nature of implanting. What does that process entail? Does it have anything to do with the Racuna, or is it just the Ghorax?
