Tell me how cool this would be... or how "uncool" it would be. Nexemis scientists made a breakthrough while testing on captured Infected. When coupling a protein catalyst with advanced antibodies, Nexemis was able to reverse the effects of the Infection. However, the "cure" only works on Viral Infection (So as to not make Quarantine Mode too easy). The explanation behind the cure's limited success is that in Host Infected, the Virus had infected too much of the individual's cells that it was irreversible. However, this cure came at a high price to Nexemis, in terms of money and resources. Thus, Nexemis did not want their new product to be wasted, so they will not give the cure to just any grunt. Nexemis would only give the cure to Specialists (In order to further advertise the buying of NX Specialist Characters). The Specialist who carries the cure would also carry a syringe, with which to administer the cure to Viral Infected. The problem: The syringe would take the place of a melee weapon and only one Viral can be cured per syringe. (Once again, so as to not make Quarantine Mode too easy). The Infection cure would obviously cost NX and one vial and syringe would take the place of one weapon, starting with the melee weapon, then the support slots, then the weapon slot. Once again, the cure would not work on Host Infected, so Specialists would still need to defend themselves against the Host Infected, and cured Players would be able to be Infected again after being cured. (All of this, of course, is in order to not make Quarantine Mode too easy)

Oh, and the cure only works in Quarantine Mode. The purpose would kind of be defeated if the cure was available in Fireteam Mode.
