Description
Entity 60, The Colsleps is a disease that roams the backrooms. It is meant to completely destroy your body by generating cold and not letting you sleep, which means you cannot gain energy. Paralyses have also been reported, which is not a good thing. It's name was created by merging the words "cold" and "sleep", which are the main objectives of this entity: make you feel cold and not sleep.
The entity itself is a Bacteria. It has appearance of a straight line with shorter lines coming out of it. The "sublines" seem to send the cold and signals; that is why this bacteria mainly settles at brain. However, it takes some time to travel to the brain. Because of that, the symptoms do not appear instantly. Also, because of human brain as it's habitat, the Bacteria is harder to diagnose. Luckily, this disease is not very common in the backrooms, and small amount of infected people is not settling in M.E.G. medical bays.
This disease has no official cure, but antibiotic and some operations can cure you from it. Altrough, the both ways are dangerous due to low time stamp between doses and the operation happening near brain, which could be fatal.
Behaviors
The entity spreads by the environment and by the infecteds, altrough it takes 3 days for the symptoms to appear, so the second way is more common. The disease spreads with environment by mold and fungus on the walls, which is mostly contained in class 3+ levels. That is another reason to avoid them. But touching mold/root/fungi does not instantly infect you; the disease only settles in chosen levels. The water also seems to have that bacteria in it; but not naturally generated. A source of water to produce the disease needs to be cold, dirty and poisoned; the water needs to be also in it's natural source and cannot produce the bacteria in for ex. a bottle. Sometimes, this bacteria settles on plants, rocks and stuff, because it has the unique proportion of appearing on nature things. This is why this disease mostly appears in dangerous levels.
The other way of spreading is trough people sick to it. The disease spreads by sneezes, coughs, talking... Just the droplet route. The disease also spreads by facial contact with the infecteds, drinking their tears or sweat, sleeping with/near them, and you have a high chance of getting infected when touching the person when he/she is experiencing the paralyse event.
When a victim is infected, the symptoms will appear after 3-4 days from the infection. Then, the infected person will feel heat less due to the bacteria taking the heat to reproduce. You remember how I've said the victim will feel cold? Well, this is the beginning. Altrough, this disease is detectable after minimum of 1 hour, but most infected people get to know they have it after the symptoms. Back to the subject, the "sublines's" one of purposes is to steal heat and send cold in exchange.
After few days, the victim will have significant problems with sleeping; and that happens due to the bacteria traveling to your brain, which makes your body in-move. Additionally, the bacteria seem to deliberately stimulate the organs and other bacteria. Sometimes, the disease could travel trough blood, which makes even worse effects. The bacteria by choosing this way can cause many blood illnesses and even worse problem with sleep, not to mention that could also cause a heart attack. However, Neon Water (Almond Water also works but is less effective) can slow down the disease traveling, reproduce heat, eliminate the bacteria and decrease the chances of it choosing blood way, but does not help with the sleep problem. That is caused due to Neon Water producing heat.
