I haven't seen him myself. They told me he was experienced. highly decorated in the Air Force, had excellent scores. But to all but the inner circle of fleet generals surrounding him, he was unknown. He would deliver the message of the plague himself. He would also be the redeemer.
His left leg spasmed from restlessness when he was in the court seats. None of the others stood out except for a conspicuous grinning man, Buddha-like in dimensions and for all appearances high-minded person, sitting in the experts' seat. He jiggled his pasty hand up to his chest height and said, "Wow," causing a warble, "That guy's got Zeka virus and he's spreading it to everyone else. Get rid of him, I can sense the virus in his flesh. Get him out."
"Get him out, get him out. We don't want a Zeka infected freak hanging around." All of this on television, all of this post-outbreak.
Now, you and I both know Zika zombies are predatory and highly skilled stalkers. They spread disease quickly among humans and are difficult to kill completely. In order to infect so many, he would have needed to act secretly, with near-human awareness of situations. However, in the end, the virus took the lives of him and everyone he touched. It was only after he died that he was martyred just for announcing the outbreak to the world. The zombie Zica plague would not be be erased along with thousands of years of the post-apocalyptic era. He left a record of death, but was responsible for the only government recognition the Zica virus was tested on human populations.
