For my own submission, I'd like to call dibs on Muse.
Muses are either Safe or Host type clockworks which act in a similar fashion to toxoplasmosis with cats and humans - an infected individual experiences a mental re-wiring of their brain that turns them into clockwork sympathisers. It's spread mostly by accident through sharing of bodily fluids, but infected individuals don't deliberately go about spreading their strain.
It's very hard to spot and extremely hard to wipe out, because most people infected with it keep their faculties and aren't stupid enough to go around professing their love for clockworks. They make things infinitely worse in any situation where clockworks are active, as they'll feed cetus-laced water to strangers, break off and spread stationary clockwork strains, and sabotage anti-clockwork deployments. When faced with death the individual will make a sprint for the nearest aggressive strain and turn themselves into a nutritious clockwork snack, loyal to the end.
The 9 actual documented Muses gives potential for subtypes which may increase the host's skill in certain clockwork-propaganda-spreading areas, but I haven't quite thought that far ahead.

peace to the unsung peace to the martyrs | i'm johnny rotten appleseed
clouds is shaky love | broke as hell but i got a bunch of ringtones
eyes blood red bruise aubergine | Sue took something now Sue doesn't sleep | saint average, day in the life of
woke up in the noon smelling doom and death | out the house, great outdoors
staying warm in arctic blizzard | that's my battle 'til I get inanimate | still up in the same clothes living like a gameshow
