Name: Meteora Formicidae
Strain: A
Powers: No actual powers in strain A. Meteora Formicidae A becomes a carrier for Meteora Mancipium A(x)*. Formicidae A naturally develops into strain B. Once a carrier for Meteora Mancipium about 10% of the people that the carrier makes physical contact with will contract Meteora Mancipium A(x).
Strengths: None.
Weaknesses: Is a carrier for Meteora Mancipium A(x)
Symptom changes: No notable symptom changes.

Strain: B
Powers: After Meteora Formicidae A evolves into Meteora Formicidae B the host body starts emitting a pheromone signal to the people carrying the Meteora Mancipium A(x). The carrier of Meteora Formicidae B can then use pheromones to influence and partially control the people infected with Meteora Mancipium A(x), but only within a small area (about 500 yards). At this point the carrier of Meteora Formicidae still carries the highly contagious Meteora Mancipium A(x). Meteora Formicidae B naturally develops in its host into Meteora Formicidae C.
Strengths: Slight control of those infected with Meteora Mancipium with the correct (x) genetic marker.
Weaknesses: Limited control, takes time as the pheromones have to spread.
Symptom changes: As Meteora Formicidae A develops into Meteora Formicidae B the carrier may feel occasional dizzy spells.
Strain: C
Powers: After Meteora Formicidae B evolves into Meteora Formicidae C the host gains near full control of the carriers of Meteora Mancipium A(x). Further carriers of Meteora Formicidae C can infect people (via contact) at will with Meteora Mancipium A(x), or Meteora Mancipium B(x).
Strengths: Full control over carriers of any strain of Meteora Mancipium with the correct (x) marker within a half mile area.
Weaknesses: The body of the carrier of Meteora Formicidae body begins to weaken. The carrier quickly loses the ability to walk, be self-sufficient and their life expectancy is cut dramatically (leaving them with between only 10-15 years)
Symptom changes: The carrier quickly loses self-sufficiency.

*the x in A(x) is simply a unique marker that is characterized by the combination of the Meteora Mancipium A and the unique DNA of the carrier of Meteora Formicidae A.

Name: Meteora Mancipium
Strain: A(x)*
Powers: Slightly increased physical capabilities; including enhanced strength, speed, dexterity and such.
Strengths: Based abilities increased.
Weaknesses: Eventual loss of ability to control one’s self due to Meteora Formicidae.
Symptom changes: In addition to the normal flu symptoms the carrier suffers from intense muscle aches.
Strain: B(x)
Powers: Physical boost to all attributes. Increased strength, speed, dexterity and muscle memory.
Strengths: Greater physical boost then Mancipium A.
Weaknesses: The control range is further than for strand A although it takes more effort to contro Mancipium Strain B as opposed to Strain A.
Symptom changes: In addition to the normal flu symptoms the carrier suffers from intense muscle aches.
*the (x) is a genetic marker, normally numerical, tied to the carrier of the related Meteora Formicidae.
