New Virus outbreak in Furnace!

Post by Gus Givens »

Today we bring you news of a different kind.

It appears that medical staff over on Starbase 70 in the Derren system in the Furnace Galaxy, have located what looks like a new and rather deadly virus. So far there have been a dozen reported cases of Captains coming down with the virus. Half of those have already died and the medical staff are at a loss as to the viral type or its origin.

It doesn't appear to be passed on by air or touch and as of yet there does not seem to be a common link between the captains currently infected. The senior Doctor a Stephanie Jarret has contacted the G-CDC and they have sent out a team of specialists to look into it.

The symptoms start as a stiff neck and swollen tongue, this migrates quickly to nerve paralysis and very shortly the patient looses all cognitive functions. The final stage leads to a total shut down of the autonomic system and cardiac arrest. From first symptoms to death seems to be somewhat different for each patent, but so far an average of two days seems to be the longest.

We will keep you informed as this news story unfolds.
