There are 3 constellations that draw attention in the video, and that have a direct connection with the lyrics of the song! 0:01 - Ophiucuhs (Serpentarius) 0:07 - Virgo 2:31 - Hercules Ophiucus - '' The snake bearer '' is the tale of Asclepius, son of the sun god: Apollo with a mortal, who found a wounded snake that was completely healed by another snake that brought special herbs into its mouth, using these herbs, Asclepius was able to cure not only severe illnesses, but he could also revive the dead, becoming a great healer. Hades, the god of the underworld was enraged as he was directly disrupting his work and telling the situation to Zeus, the God of the Gods and the sky. Zeus then struck a lightning bolt at Asclepius killing him, and at Apollo's request, an image of him ascended to the heavens. Virgo - There are several tales about the constellation, but the most famous is that of Dike, the Goddess of justice, daughter of Zeus and Themis, the Goddess of order and law, has been in charge of taking care of justice in humanity since the golden age, however when the silver age arrived and humans started to abandon their customs and traditions, Dike warned them that it would bring chaos and a great evil to everyone, but they did not hear it, so Dike moved away to the mountains to isolate herself. When the era of bronze and iron arrived and humans were already lost in countless wars, Dike abandoned humanity for good and ascended to the heavens. Other tales also related are those of Persephone, Demeter and among others ... Hercules - Son of Zeus with the mortal Alcmene, as soon as he was a baby, Zeus carried him to the breast of Hera who was asleep, and after drinking her milk he became immortal, but Hera was furious about it, and since she couldn't kill Hercules, she decided to curse him, so when he was already an adult, Hera enchanted him and made him kill his wife and children, after he was free of the curse and desperate he asked Apollo for help, who gave him 12 tasks, better known as 12 heroic labors, and as soon as he completed, he would be forgiven and free. After completing his missions, Hercules fell in love with Deianira and got married, years later when they were both going to cross a river, a centaur named Nessus appeared and said he would help carry Deianira on his back, but when Hercules was already on the other side, Nessus tried to abuse Deianira, Hercules then used an arrow poisoned with Hydra's blood and killed Nessus, before he died, Nessus told Deianira that he had blood with the power to make anyone fall in love, and that she should keep it if something bad about Hercules was suspect. After rescuing a princess named Iole and having a party, Deianira, afraid that Hercules would fall in love with the woman, enchanted a shirt with the blood of Nessus and gave it to Hercules to wear, the poison cursed his body, rotting it with the time. Hercules then climbed up to Mount Etna, where he burned his mortal body and his immortal essence ascended to Olympus, Zeus honored Hercules by placing his image in the skies. 0:57 - 1:01 - This passage refers to the story of Asclepius, because once he left, there is no more salvation. 1:19 - 1:34 - This excerpt refers to the story of Dike, for having warned humans of a great danger that was approaching, but they did not hear and then she left. 2:11 - 2:31 - This passage can be a little confusing, but I believe it is linked to the story of Hercules, at the time when Nessus tried to abuse her, and he used his infected arrow to kill him, and by the thirst of chaos from Hera. and also on the screen the constellation of Hercules is shown directly. Conclusion: An unknown virus spread by the humanoid, great voices would have said that this danger was approaching, but they could not prevent it, infecting everyone, and secretly in the end, maybe it is someone's bigger plan for the thirst for chaos. Well, but it's my opinion! Thank you if you read this far, it took a bit of work to do, and sorry if it is a strange or uncertain writing, I am a young Brazilian girl still learning English! But I really appreciate the stars, and also the Starset's music! : D

Above the video title, it is @/starset​ @/infected​ @/arknights Now you know why there are so many Arknights fans here. The process is this, ak's initial two PVs used Starset's Monster and Unbecoming respectively. As a gacha mobile game, this style is very unique compared to contemporaries, and it quickly attracted a group of players, meanwhile many of them also become the fans of Starset. At Arknights first anniversary, Starset sang a live version of Monster and Unbecoming for the celebration, and announced that they would produce an exclusive song for ak, which is Infected. Fans of the band may be confused by the sudden appearance of gamers, but please understand, many Arknights fans have been waiting for a whole year.

Am I the only one who hears a venting song about the pandemic in these lyrics?? Somehow, that makes it *even more badass* with that connection. Starset has always had a theme of "we are messengers of a terrible future, and these are our survivor's anthems!" - But this isn't the battles between CVR and TSS. This is our own battles, our survival, and our story. This song is *our transmission* to the past world, telling the tale of our trials we've fought together.

With the lore bomb now dropped, this is basically the Doctor's theme song.

[@zynczinc1443]

Monster is pre amnesia doc's theme. Infected is Doc's post amnesia

[@zaceziedane45]

Nah... Monster is definitely better suit for Doctor. This music have a lot implication of storytelling a bunch of people, who exactly? The infected, and peoples within a conflicts because of it. Sounds like telling about present times wich is better suits for Amiya's theme as leader of rhodes island... Or king of fiend. There's a theory saying that Doctor is presenting the past, Amiya is presenting the present time and then Kal'sit who is presenting the future.

I've known starset for quite a few years now, my first song of them being "my demons". They just got me into Arknights since yesterday. I first didn't like it when I saw it on release, not a fan of gacha games, but I really appreciate the way Arknights solved the endless struggle of waleing vs F2P. But the real reason why I play it is for it's huge story.

[@Hindshell5438]

The exact reason why i stay with the game for 2 year. The plot is decent. For a fantasy sci-fi with magic, its strangely realistic. And the world building is huge for a anime mobile gacha game story. What other game include a total 18 fictional country in their story and the game also include and explain the geopolitics of those countries which make the arknights world feel more realistic

It’s always great to hear more Starset, especially considering the somewhat mythical status Infected has garnered for itself. At the same time, I can sort of understand why this was cut from Divisions, it doesn’t seem quite up to the same standard as the rest of that album. It’ll probably grow on me (they always do) but my initial takeaway is rather lukewarm. Still am extremely stoked to finally have it though, don’t get me wrong.

[@defizero4383]

It really grew on me after the third listen.

[@MurderOfAKiller]

it probably didnt fit the theme of DIVISIONS is my guess

[@BorisTheGoose92]

It's a quality song, but hard agree. I feel it has a lot of potential that just stayed flat. No real dynamic/timbre change.

I've heard some say that this was removed because Divisions was too long. Not sure if that's true though

You guys just earned a lifetime fan, can't wait to see yall again!

Starset has built a bit of a reputation on being underestimated. They've been opening for BB pretty consistently since their debut back in 2014 and I've read so many comments like yours. Their stage presence is ridiculous, only band I've ever seen top them live was Disturbed.

[@StormTheSquid]

This song is a masterpiece, but not just because the song itself is amazing. No, the meanings behind it, there are so many and they're all so... Pertinent to the world as it is today. Think about it. A song called Infected, where the overall message seems to be about a corrupt society, panic and reaping what we sow. Look at the world around you, just about everything is either actively happening, already happened, or predicted to happen soon. This isn't just a song. It's a philosophical question, a social commentary, and so much more. It is the song of the decade.

[@neinwanwan7060]

this is released for the mobile game Arknights, where one of it's themes are the infected within it's world. Although, I'm not saying that what you said isn't possible

@@neinwanwan7060 I've heard of the game but know nothing about it. I feel like it being for the game doesn't exclude it from having deeper meanings like the ones I suggested here, tho. If anything it just adds another layer and makes the song more meaningful and impactful.
