Humans by Any Other Name: Everything related to the infection refers to humans as "VCs", which is later explained to mean "Vector Candidate". In the second chapter, the dream filter uses the term "Leviathan" for both humans as a civilization and parts of the human body, while using "Planet" for the human body as a whole.

Perception Filter
 Viral By Committee (Webcomic) / int_61459062
comment
Perception Filter: As far as we know Alex can see just fine what happens around them, but other entities have filters all over the place. The Nulls are initially cut from the nanite network by the Liminal Quarantine, the zombie nanites see through a filter that scrambles faces and textnote but ironically not CAPTCHA text, because the filter doesn't notice it's text, the Committee is first seen through a filter making them look humanoid, Alex themself (and a lot of infected people) are stopped from knowing what's happening inside them by a "data filter" to prevent suicide, and in the second chapter Alex is explicitly dreaming, which greatly distorts what they see.

Honest Corporate Executive
 Viral By Committee (Webcomic) / int_7a555627
comment
Honest Corporate Executive: Contagion genuinely does their best to run their project with environmental preservation as a major priority. Their convictions born in large part from seeing firsthand what damage a corrupt and incompetent project lead can cause, their previous boss Sloth having caused their project's catastrophic failure with a string of short-sighted and selfish decisions. There is a possible blemish in Contagion's past, but they were still under Sloth's orders at the time.

No Zombie Cannibals: Zig-zagged. Fully turned zombies will work together even over radio, but before that they're competing for resources and the strong may well eat the weak.

Phoning the Phantom
 Viral By Committee (Webcomic) / int_7dff4b22
comment
Phoning the Phantom: When Anarchy first speaks using Alex's mouth, they initially address Alex directly. They're promptly advised to address Alex in first-person instead, so that people (including Alex) will see Alex thinking out loud rather than holding both sides of a conversation.

Prince and Pauper: a mysterious contact high-ranked among the alien invaders offers dream-Alex the means to impersonate them, allowing both Alex to get insight on the invaders' upper echelons and the contact to go snoop without their absence being noticed.

Zombie Infectee: The story starts mere minutes after Alex gets bit, and Alex's friends no longer trust them. Alex pleads to them to leave them alive but split off. Since the zombie virus is already influencing Alex's mind, their friends were right to be wary of them.
