Special Operations (Cure Mode)

The Special Operations are extra measures that players have when dealing with a specific outbreak, because certain pathogens have special abilities that make them difficult to contain, so the player will have to use them to greatly reduce both infectivity and lethality.

Virus

Icon	Trait	Description
	Public Warning	Emphasise that this is much more severe than the seasonal flu. It is a novel virus that needs to be taken seriously. Increase Authority
	Public Alert	Re-emphasise how dangerous the novel virus is and beg people to take it seriously. Reduces Non-Compliance

Parasite

Icon	Trait	Description
	Medical Aid 1	Provide aid packages to poor countries to support efforts to control the disease. Reduce bonus infection rate in poor regions
	Medical Aid 2	Provide comprehensive aid packages to poor countries to support efforts to control the disease. Remove bonus infection rate in poor regions

Fungus

Icon	Trait	Description
	Micron Ventilation Filters	Use micrometer filtration systems. Significantly reduce the frequency of fungal spores spreading infection
	Antifungal 1, 2 & 3	Deploy high altitude anti-fungal aerosols around the world to reduce the fungal bloom. Reset fungal infection bonus

Prion

Icon	Trait	Description
	Rapid Analysis	Study existing prions for similarities with the pathogen. Significantly speed up initial disease analysis
	Neural Enhancers	Use neurological enhancement drugs to reduce cognitive decline in Infected. Help infected countries continue to develop vaccine
	Reassure Infected 1	Reassure infected people that the prion will be cured before they die from it. Reduce Authority loss from Panic
	Reassure Infected 2	Emphasis the 'incredible' research discoveries being made by vaccine researchers. Reduce Authority loss from Panic
	Extend Incubation 1	Administer lymphotoxin blocker injections for the infected. Extend the time before disease becomes terminal
	Extend Incubation 2	Improve lymphotoxin blocker injections. Extend the time before the disease becomes terminal

Nano-Virus

Icon	Trait	Description
	Develop Kill-Code	Start to develop nano-virus kill-code. Required to remotely shut down the machines
	Kill-Code Supercomputing	Offload kill-code decryption to dedicated supercomputer networks. Significantly speeds up kill-code development
	Special Codes	Identify backdoors in code to hijack nano-virus functions. Warning - firewall will lock after intrusion detected
	Emotion Dampening	Remotely inject command code level 065117116104111114105116121. Significantly reduce Authority loss from infected and dead
	Location Tracking	Remotely infect command code level 084114097099105110103. Significantly increase contact tracing effectiveness
	Hack Climate Routines	Identify backdoors in code to modify climate adaptation behavior. Warning - firewall will lock after intrusion detected
	Scramble Heat Resistance	Remotely inject command code level 069120111116104101114109105099. Significantly reduce infection in hot climates
	Scramble Cold Resistance	Remotely inject command code level 069110100111116104101114109105099. Significantly reduce infection in cold climates
	Hack Secondary Routines	Identify backdoors in code to modify core routines. Warning - firewall will lock after intrusion detected
	Cycle Suspension	Remotely inject command code level 068101108097121 Halt all nano-virus activity globally for one month
	Cryptomining	Remotely inject command code level 099121098101114109105110101 Utilise the nano-virus to siphon additional resources over time

Bio-Weapon

Icon	Trait	Description
	Declare Armageddon	Warn the world that humanity faces an extinction level threat from the pandemic. Significant increase in Authority
	Expectation Management	Explain that it is impossible to protect every single country. Limit the authority damage per country. Reduce Authority
	Extreme Measures 1	Deploy 'private contractors'. Field Operatives will take extreme measures to stop the spread of infection. Reduce Authority and increase Non-Compliance
	Extreme Measures 2	Deploy black ops soldiers. Field Operatives will take large scale extreme measures to stop the spread of infection. Reduce Authority and increase Non-Compliance

Other

Icon	Trait	Description
	Bypass Safety Measures	Compromise safety checks, weaken quality control standards and waive manufacturer liability. Take a significant risk to try to accelerate Vaccine Development
