Trioxin

2-4-5 Trioxin Leaking out of canister

Trioxin (a.k.a. 2-4-5 Trioxin) is a very real and factually documented chemical and biological agent. It has been the subject of debate in many Zombie-Apocalyptic focus documentaries based on facts and on real-life incidents, from accidental leaks at research medical laboratories, to what could be considered puposeful acts of bio-terrorism. In 2011 Trixoxin 2-4-5 was posited by Stephen Hawking on a list as one out of the 5 deadliest weapons mankind ever invented, and alongside super ArtificiaI Intelligence, most likely to bring about the extinction of mankind, and the end of the world.

Background

Trioxin is a yellow or greenish vapor (caused by sulfurism) which due to the toxicity of the chemical isotope, variation at 3 independent molecular levels, causes previously dead nerve endings to fire at random in organic beings, acute skin irritation that test subjects report feeling as if it were literally burning. m[8]. Trioxin 2-4-5 is typically stored under high levels of pressure in medium size steel drums, secured by electronic code-vaulted locking mechanisms, but due to the highly acerbic nature of the compound, many of the steel cannisters were recalled due to well above average leaking propensity. Trioxin 2-4-5 was originally developed by the Darrow Chemical Company (dept 3: Civilian chapter of US General Chemical Company/Army Corp of Engineering) for the United States military as a herbicide during the Vietnam War era. Its original miltary use was for spraying down any underlying foliage that could potentiate sniper attacks by the Vietnam Cong, as well as destroying illegal marijuana plants domestically. However, an unpredicted side effect of the chemical herbicide was discovered, and Trioxin 2-4-5 was found to have rapid to immediate re-animating properties on post morbidly decaying organic remains. 1967 at the Pittsburgh Pa Veterans Hospital, a large quantity of the chemical was accidentally released into a makeshift morgue being used in the basement for identifying "unknown soldiers" returning home from the Vietnam War. The immediate and horrifying effect was that the leaked sulfurous yellow cloud caused the military cadavers stored there to "jump around", displaying both voluntary, and involuntary motor reflex functions, resumed approximately as when they were living. This historically documented Trioxin 2-4-5 spill was the grim real-life incident that inspired the 1968 film "Night of the Living Dead", at that time in closed secret, with facts deeply obscured in order to prevent lawsuits, or widespread panic among the public, perhaps even greater than the 1938 "War of the Worlds" broadcast. Trioxin 2-4-5 facilitates rapid re-animation of morbidly due to the toxicity of the chemical causing nerve endings to fire at rando tissue, right down to the base cellular level, meaning Trioxin exposed limbs, or any other body parts, will move about with an "undead" life on its own, even long after being severed from the central nervous system of the exposed organism. Reports indicate that even bare skeletons still endowed with connective ligament tissue, do in fact regain full motor function, regardless of the level of advancement of prior morbid decay, immediate after exposure. Moreover, Trioxin 2-4-5 is highly lethal to any respiratory system, and a single exposure involving a concentrated amount of Trioxin 2-4-5 can both instantly kill and simultaneously re-animate any living person, or animal, as a Trioxin zombie. The process can occur so quickly that it remains tragically unbeknownst to an exposed subject, until life signs such as pulse and blood pressure, are detected to have ceased by use of medical instruments.

Zombies created by exposure to trioxin retain all of their former intelligence and athletic capabilities, including the ability to speak, run, and climb. Human behaviors and emotions fade as the brain shuts down to a near primal level, leaving only the base instinct to feed on specific cranial organ, and the surrounding jellies and nervous tissues. Like normal human cadavers, the zombies begin to exhibit right from the onset of dying, similar post mortem effects of blood clotting, and rigor mortis. however the stiffness in the muscle "breaks out" as they continue moving, to the point they become increasingly limber, and even agile within a small amount of time, which in-turn enables them to run nearly as fast as a living person, within mere minutes after reviving. Trioxin zombies, in a hideous and abruptly cruel twist of fate, do in fact share flesh eater traits with classic zombies, but much worse in that Trioxin zombies, crave eating human brains. One of the extremely dangerous specimens captured explained to researchers that this "craving to eat living brains" (perhaps due to the bio-electric cells present en masse in human brains), somehow helps to stave off the pain of "being dead" and or decomposition. Trioxin zombies have another trait that makes them much more dangerous than any other type known, is that the compound that revives them, seemingly mutates them at the same time, giving them widely elongated Jaws and mouths, filled with knife like teeth, that could bite through skull easily, then sucking out the juice inside as one journalist compared "like a coconut". The mutating effect of Trioxin 2-4-5 exposed corpses also causes long "claw like" boney mutation of the hands, rendering fingers more like talons of a bird of prey, snatching for their lunch. Otherwise from their fierce bite and clutch, its reported that strength of the Trioxin zombie is adequately equal to human. Unlike classic zombies, the only known ways to destroy zombies created by 2-4-5 trioxin are by some for of incineration or other means of completely physically vaporizing all remains. Attempts to destroy the brain or even completely dismember a Trioxin zombie have invariably failed. Reports of electrocuted Trioxin zombies "dying" should be regarded with extreme skepticism, as should any occult magic rituals, or holy water.

Though a volatile gas, 2-4-5 Trioxin is fairly stable, and can withstand temperatures in the thousands of degrees. Attempts to cremate trioxin-spawned zombies typically release trioxin gas into the air, where it may contaminate and seed low altitude rainclouds. The resulting precipitation is irritating to skin, which often leads victims to assume that it is acid rain. This "Trioxin Shower" is possibly at times concentrated enough to kill a human outright, and if the contaminated rainwater falls on a cemetery, it can potentially reanimate corpses interred there.

According to the Return of the Living Dead series, trioxin was the cause of an incident on which the movie Night of the Living Dead was based. The incident states that at some point in the 60's, 2-4-5 Trioxin was spilled and seeped into a VA morgue. Since the zombies created by Trioxin could not be killed with a shot to the head, unlike the zombies in the film, they were stored in sealed drums for over two decades. In Return of the Living Dead III, it is revealed that the U.S. military is deliberately experimenting with trioxin in an effort to create zombie supersoldiers. This is further explored in Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis, where most of the plot takes place in a lab designed for that very purpose.

In Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis and Return of the Living Dead 5: Rave from the Grave, the chemical is referred to simply as Trioxin 5. This is perhaps purposeful, as in the aforementioned films the reanimated act rather differently than in the first 3 parts, and are easily killed through the traditional head-shot (a la George A. Romero zombies) possibly indicating that a new version of Trioxin was developed specifically in order to be able to destroy the zombies it creates in the event they get out of control.

Any one who comes into contact with an infected human must and should contact their center for disease control as soon as possible. You may experience fever-like symptoms accompanied by hypoxia (swelling of the larynx, sweating, clammy skin) and/or dizziness. Kaiser Permanente has known about this for years. However, They've been ignored in the general community.

Real world basis

The concept of 2-4-5 Trioxin is based in part on Agent Orange, a real-life defoliant used by the Army during the Vietnam War. The two chemicals share a number of similarities: both were used against plants by the United States Army during the 1960s, and both proved to have horrifying side effects. One of the two chemicals used to produce Agent Orange is called 2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Agent Orange also contained chemicals known as dioxins.

2-4-5 Trioxin should not be mistaken for the real chemical trioxane, which is used by morticians to repair cells and maintain a corpse's contours after postmortem tissue constriction.
