"We need people going house to house, taking an inventory of the patients, and what their needs are. You need biohazard gear if you're approaching patients at all, unless that's what the glow is. If you're medically qualified, then we need to get triage going as well. Right now, we simply don't know the numbers we're dealing with." Mitchal says to Lee.
Charity recognizes Toby, and heads for him directly. Her biohazard suit is not as high tech as his, but what do you expect from a trainee. "Thank goodness you're here. This is the weirdest disease I've heard of."

Toby's suit is from the 1980's, so even a Remnant trainee may have better gear.
Hey, you're, uh, with the violent boyfriend at GLoG... Charity, right? Tell me everything. He has to shout to make himself heard, unless we handwave Charity getting his suit's radio's frequency.“Me quoque per multos similis fortuna labores

Lee nods.
Yeah, the glow's got the biohazard covered. What would you like done with regards to Triage, back in medic training I was taught in a way that may or may not be different than yours.Last edited by DoomITP; 2012-09-08 at 11:18 AM.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47

Handwavium is taught right after CPR in medic training.
"Disease started about a month ago. No fatalities, but similarly no recoveries. Symptoms are fever, weakness, and delirium. High rate of infection. We don't know how many are infected yet, because the care workers in this area fell sick along with the patients. It's cross-species, and seems to affect female, young, and humans first." Charity says to Toby.
To Lee, Mitchal says: "This disease so far has had no fatalities, so we're triaging based on level of patient suffering and need. Some people may have been without basic care for some time, as entire families fall sick, so we may encounter malnutrition and dehydration. Hopefully no one has died of neglect. Due to the how infectious this disease is, we are not transporting anyone out. Hospital care has to come here."My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47
Alright. It looks like DRDs from HALO are bringing in supplies and should be here soon. There looks to be a clinic getting set up as well. I'll send along the worst of em' and hopefully we'll get this sorted out quickly.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47
Ponona Blvd
No fatalities? Interesting... The high rate of infection means it has to be airborne or magically spread. Affecting females first is also a curious thing. Have we identified the index case? Do we know if the community has offended a deity? Toby quickly approaches the nearest patient. Say, Charity, are there any consistencies in their delirium? Like, everyone's having the same hallucination or repeating the same thing.“Me quoque per multos similis fortuna labores
iactatam hac demum voluit consistere terra.
Non ignara mali, miseris succurrere disco.”

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47

"We don't have anything like enough data for either of those questions, but maybe we will after the door-to-door. So far I've only witnessed one case of delirium, which was the woman believing she was melting. It ended after a few minutes, and she refused to talk about it afterwards. There's a robot clinician who knows more," Charity says, and she'll lead Toby to the robot played by Lost who is not CB. "The robot speculates that it's magical in origin, but we simply don't have enough data!"
After the quarantine zone is set up and guarded, Remnant soldiers in biohazard gear are assisting in the door to door identification of patients and gathering of data.
Sometime later, as GLoG (except Toby) does not act on anything like military preparedness, a pick up truck pulls up loaded up with preserved food of all sorts - meats, fruits, vegetables, cereals, apple juice, and so on. The halflings have been laying a lot of food by in the cellars over the months for emergency needs, and this seems to qualify. They've also included a fair amount of fresh food for immediate consumption - bread, cheese, milk, and soups. Once a distribution network is set up, there shouldn't be any food problems for a while.My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

The medical robot looks up as the pair enters. "Hello! You're here to help with the plaugue?"
Ponona Blvd-Houses
No one answers the door. However, if he tires the door he will find it to be unlocked.
A lot of the doors are unlocked, and the true horror of the disease is revealed. Many people are too weak to move... many have debilitating fevers... and the delirium and hallucinations are common enough that many people aren't sure the remnant troopers are real.Last edited by Lost_Deep; 2012-09-08 at 12:35 PM.

Lee is shocked by the state of the people in the house. He kneels down and starts talking to them as he rations out the small bottle of water he had brought with them. As they drink he asks them what they see.Avatar by Crimmy

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47

A man enters the clinic, covered in another of HALO's old suits, and carrying some of any food and medical supplies not yet brought in.
He asks of the medical robot "How can we help?" Not that there's anyone else with him.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47

Most of them haven't had hallucinations, instead claiming to have gone crazy for a few minutes occasionally or something. Or that it just gets hard to think sometimes, or bouts of paranoia or depression... for someone with knowledge of psychiatric disorders, the large variety will seem odd.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47

Yes, we're here to help. Do you have any evidence to support the theory that this is magical in nature? Toby asks the robot as he moves to the first human female patient he sees. And then he starts chanting under his breath.“Me quoque per multos similis fortuna labores
iactatam hac demum voluit consistere terra.
Non ignara mali, miseris succurrere disco.”

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47

"Oh- um- er-"
He moves back a bit. "One at a time, please? There is a lot going on all of a sudden."
"The main reason I think it's magical is because I can't think of any other explanation! I haven't found a bacteria or virus, and there's no disease I know of that does this."
The data isn't very useful, at least 7 or 8 kids came down with it in three days, in at least six different homes. Several of the houses were completely infected in a day or two. From there, it just spread.

Toby listens to what the robot says and continues chanting. He performs his ritual slowly, to make sure he conserves his energy and makes no mistake. When he's done, the spell should scan the patient thoroughly, providing a detailed diagnosis of what is wrong with her body. If this really is caused by a bacteria or virus, the spell will find it.

Outside the quarantine, HALO's helicopter touches down. Angela emerges in her magically-colored pink Racal suit and starts unloading medical supplies before heading to the clinic.“Me quoque per multos similis fortuna labores

Dani stays with Sam in the cockpit.
She looks remarkably professional, for once.
Erin follows Angela, having put on one of the suits, no doubt at Angela's insistence, instead of relying on spoooooooooooky immune systems.

The woman does not appear to be affected by any bacteria, virus, fungus... or any noticeable magic effect. THAT is freaky.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47
Krystal chuckles at that.
Okay. You got me beat there.
She eyes the nearest wall with a sly grin. But...I think I got something you don't.
She'll take a few steps away from the wall, then bring out crystals from both fists. She gives a couple power swings, and ends up with several crystals stuck in the wall, going up. Then she dashes towards the wall, leaps, and grabs the lowest ones. She the proceeds to use the crystals to climb up the wall.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47
[Abandoned Temple]
The shots hit the golem that did not even bother to dodge. The bullets are in the head and chest halfway buried in. As a stone golem it doesn't seem to feel any pain. Fists will continue to be aimed at Evan, somewhat faster this time around. Over at the stairs going up, creatures are coming through. They look like lizards thrice the size of an oversized alligator. They are starting to form a swarm. Surt in the mean time looks like he's concentrating on something. A pulse-like sonar can be felt emitting from his left arm.Boredom is a double-edged sword. Oh yeah I made character entries in the character directory wanna see?

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47
Ponona Blvd - Data gathering
Some of the families will be able to point Charity to the houses with the children that were affected first... one of which is the home of Samuel (the man from the clinic). She can either check Samuel's home or one of the other homes.
Oh, when I say that some of the families can help, I mean that most of the families are completely bedridden. The various people going door-to-door are finding that people that can move around are in a minority, almost overwhelmingly so. It's a good thing that medical attention was brought in when it was, or this could have turned nasty.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47

Samuel's house seems a fine place to start. Charity will go in first and provide what care she can and deciding whether they need to be moved to the mobile clinic or not (radioing in for stretcher bearers for that part, if needed). Then she'll talk to Samuel.My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47
Ponona Blvd-Lee
The trick about the family is that they will need someone to take care of them, to keep them from wasting away. Such a thing would be easier at a clinic... but there are a lot of people that would need this kind of attention in the neighborhood, as will become clear as the soldiers find other houses in similar conditions.
Ponona Blvd - Charity
Samuel will answer the door, somewhat happy to see Charity. His wife and eldest two children are bedridden, but he and his adopted child are still able to be up and around. The adopted child isn't human, but still humanoid. She has chalk white skin, and jet black hair... and appears to be tattooed with lightning bolts in black ink. THAT is odd. She looks about six years old, and is obviously tired as she moves around the house. She rests often, but probably not as much as she should be.

"I won't! I live in a lake. I don't bathe before or after breakfast, but before, during and after breakfast, lunch and supper. Plus my skin doesn't have all that hair like I've seen on most swimmers, so my skin's smoother." And also Myrim will, when in fresh water, create a mucous membrane around herself that is designed to pull anything sticking to her off and makes her slippery, much like a fish does. This both pulls off most forms of aquatic parasites, but also keeps her cleaner than one might expect from a creature native to swamps and marshes.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!
