DarkWater is an origin story exclusive to the Necroa Virus DLC.
Mutation 1.5 introduced the Necroa Virus to Plague Inc., and with it, many new achievements. Three of these achievements revolve around the Necroa Virus being a bio-weapon created by DarkWater, a private military contractor. Non Starter requires that a DarkWater analysis of the disease fail. Dead End requires that DarkWater analyze the disease without finding weakness. Big Bang requires that Darkwater find genetic weakness and introduce the Z-Rest device, only to have it fail. Note that the three achievements cannot be obtained simultaneously, thus it's a good idea to make a game save file and use it to earn the missing achievements rather than starting all over again to save time.
