Engineered Viral Swarm

Micro-cloned viral agents thread through the Fourth Doctor’s brain, pulse-like coils of synthetic infection calibrated for precision destruction. Their structure defies organic bounds—needle-fine strands of metal-coded RNA designed to dismantle the Nucleus at a molecular level while leaving neural tissue intact. Marius’s grip tightens on the readout as he describes the hidden invasion, the gulf between survival and annihilation narrowing with each breath. Specifically bred to hunt and annihilate the Nucleus, these cloned pathogens pulse with engineered precision, each unit racing toward their target while eliminating the parasitic intelligence lodged in the Doctor's mind.
