First signs showed up about 3 days ago but wasen't noticed until people began dieng. So far about 1,330 people have died and it's rising each day. The disease begins with a simple back ache then to a headache and finally a hemmorege of the whole body. Not known yet but the transmission is thought to be airbourne. Air traffic has halted and the city is under complete quarentine. The WHO CDC and USAMRIID have been working together trying to figure this out before it becomes a world thret or a Pandemic.

OOC: Do you mind if I RP this a little, if you don't want me to ignore this post.

Karl Saidar trudged down the street of the city of Asronan, Stronovich. It might have been called a street before the plague, now it was nothing more the broken asphalt and plague ridden bodies. Smog of funeral pyres hazed the air as the cremation of the dead continued. The once populous town of 60,000 was down to a mear shadow of its former self. Karl privately estimated that only three or four thousand must be left, and had a running bet with himself before he died. He could already feel the ache in his back throb as his thoughts wandered to it, his head followed his back in pulsating pain. His two brothers and mother had already passed away and his father barely able to move, his time would come soon. Suddenly the presence of a strange buzzing noise injected itself into his mind, several moments later he realized the long forsaken sound of a jet aircraft. Perhaps he would be saved, and then he devolved into helpless, insane laughter.

Aboard OV-23 Tiltjet G-1...

Captian Riery of the Scellian elite force know only as 'Gods' looks pensively out the now grim smudged window, so desolate, and mangled. I thought that this was sheer idiocy to send elite comabt units to fight a diesease, but now I know I was wrong. We only need samples, I wish I could take everyone.

The Tiltjet sets down in the middle of the mainstreet, or what was left of it. Dust and paper is blow into a tornado, the dead plasters with the waste of the near dead. The back of the OV-23 opens disgorging the black armor clad commado's, their breath hissing out through the selfcontained air supplies. No form of contamination could touch them, none of them touched something fromt he outside. Each carries a massive rifle, fingering them as the residents of Asronan shamble up to them. The amplified voice of Captian Reiry booms from the lead God, "We seek someone who is willing to come with us, and has the plague." Half the crowd broke away in fear, the other half waits with mutters and grumbles. Soon people from all over town, sick of plague and not, stream onto the street.

Karl drags himself infront of the black man, still wheezing from his fit og laughter. "Please, take me. I am of plague, I must warn you, I will probably die before I get where ever we are going." The man gestures, he is dragged forward with four others, less obviously sick then him. Those left behind begin to surge forward, but one massive blast from those rifles stopped them dead. One of the strange men injects him in the arm, and Karl feels the world go black.

The OV-23 lifts off, having the specimens needed and head back to Scellia. Karl and four others to be studied for a cure, and to make sure that this never spreads to Scellia.

To the Leader of Pardania-

We are willing to aide you in your time of need. We can give you the avaliable medical products and drugs that we have in our medical system. We are also willing to send 2 teams of doctors if the situation warrants it.

The agent is airbourne and causes dangerious psycological distress in the victims including brain damage, paranoia, and cerbreal pulsy. All non-military flights sighted over the sector of NG47 to sector GE86 will be shot down. We would like to thank you all for you're help with supplies and scientists. May God help us all.
