Text: Medical Update on recent Bio-Hazard situation

[prorenataa]

[ Where oh where has the doctor been?

Well, a biological hazard with contagion ramifications. You do the math.

Now, however, having gotten a chance to sit down and look back over his notes, Adrien is taking the opportunity to put together something resembling a report to share with the class. Eventually it reads something like this. ]

In regards to the recent out-break of the biohazard and potential contagion situation on this planet.

Diagnosis of patients revealed no obvious affects or presence of the contagion still within our systems. This was a blanket finding across all species.

Material taken from the digestive tract, or equivalent, was likewise studies with no evidence of material outside normal parameters.

However, bloodwork lead to neurological follow-up, in the following circumstances. Where very slight alterations to the hormone levels (regardless of species) was identified further review identified these alterations as affecting the endocrine and adrenal systems (again we’re not all the same species, so the equivalent in those of you who don’t lay claim to either of these exact systems). The tests show minor, but consistent disturbances, that upon review against baseline levels, suggest a similarity to variations of withdrawal.

This effect is presenting as similar to other neurochemical imbalances, particularly anxiety and depression. If you happened to flag on these variances in testing and were taken for further questioning, I’d be interested in hearing how that went in hopes to continue to collect data on this outbreak.

Because experience, and my own prominent level of paranoia, suggests this information may be important in the future. Also, there’s a betting pool over whether the initial outbreak was an accident due to piss poor protocols, or a deliberate release of something weaponized.

For the record, I put down sencs on deliberate release, because this is precisely the sort of thing certain individuals would love to weaponize.

Finally, to those individuals who went crashing through the Ingress back to the slaver planet on some misguided mission of retributions? That was a fucking stupid move. Care to share with the class what long term solution you accomplished?

Revenge is a dish best served dangerously.

[That's explanation enough, right?]

From my own experiences I am very concerned that it was created with the intent to attack.

[He can't really say anything about the colony. He was sold as a sex slave there, and he had his own revenge even if it was only on one man. Part of him is horrified because he doesn't know how many unwilling innocents were taken out. Part of him thinks they fucking deserved it.]

Can you prescribe antipsychotics? [Because he's considering talking to someone about them. Asking for a friend only legitimately.]

[sketchycharacter]

that's cheery news.

I'm not doubting this was deliberate, but something's not sitting right with me about it being a weapon. All that effort to get people there and infected for the sake of withdrawal symptoms? And someone else mentioned something about a psychic connection...

I'm worried that this is more an infiltration than an attack.

With how people were able to come and go, it's just as plausible it was accidental.

RE: THE RUNOFF, YOUR POINT'S MADE. IT WAS MADE BEFORE YOU EVEN SAID ANYTHING.

I TOLD YOU SO'S AREN'T GOING TO HELP ANYONE.

BUT AS YOU SO KINDLY APPENDED A QUERY TO THAT, NOTHING.

THE ANSWER IS NOTHING WAS ACCOMPLISHED.

Unless it was a particularly vivid hallucination, you can probably go cash in on those bets.

It's definitely a thrall, or at least a precursor to one: it's probably meant to psychologically weaken the infected.

The source of it seems intent on gaining some sort of revenge and it definitely intends on controlling people to enact it. 'Why', 'who' and/or 'what' are up in the air, however.
