Attention all: just a few hours ago several towns were enveloped by a deep, nearly inpenetrable fog. This fog was witnessed firsthand by myself and many others in Borealis, in Newland City, and also in Old Athens I believe (by the time I got there, I might have been a bit delirious, so confirmation is requested). I checked out Omni Trade and Galway and there was no fog to be seen. Nor did ICC seem to be affected.
The fog was incredibly dense. I could not see anything or anyone in front of me. Most of the citizens in town were thrown into a panic. Some people brought out night-vision goggles which they say helped more than the floating torches.
Unfortunately, we didn't need anymore light.
In the midst of this deep fog, there was a bright flash that ripped across and throughout the town. It seemed we could all feel the nanobots charging... into our systems...
Moments later, the fog lifted... like it was never there. But we started to feel the change almost immediately. It started with a slight cough, then chills and a dizziness. I witnessed Belle2 and Rockjock displaying the symptoms of this virus. Many other people fell ill as well.
As this general malaise enveloped us as completely as the fog had moments before, ICC Peacekeepers Dorson and Evantor were seen walking towards us from the direction of the grid. They were accompanied by Biologiest Doctorwynd and Virologist Kenatha. They had heard the reports and were apparently dispatched to Borealis immediately.
They gather what information they could from the chaotic crowd that had gathered. Several people fell more seriously ill. ICC Peacekeeper Evantor began vomiting quite profusely during his questioning. I am sad to report that the virus did take the life of ICC Peacekeeper Evantor. There was nothing we could do.
The Doctor passed out an experimental Revitalizing Serum to any and all people present. Taking this serum seemed to provide some respite from the chills of the fog. I do not know how long it will last or how much it will help. Most of us dispatched warnings to our org mates and friends to stay awake. Alas, our friends came to help us and some fell ill as well...
Jajangmyun stops her typing suddenly and presses her palm to her forehead. "I must get the news out. Others must know what has happened. Communication is our key." She feels a chill run through her body. She raises an unsteady hand back to the comm port and continues to tap out her message.
Doctorwynd and Kenatha dispensed what aid they could. They took blood samples and vital signs from most of us and told us to contact them should anything else come up.
Rockjock, of The Seraphim Cleric, succumbed to the virus and died as well. Sadly, his newlywed wife, Justhealin, appeared moments too late to be there for him. I do not know what his situation is. I can only hope that it is not... permanent. There were others, I could not keep track of all their names. I do not know which of them were able to be reclaimed.
She tries to take a deep breath, but the air rasps harshly against her throat and sends her into a brief coughing fit... "I don't know what else to write. I hope this makes it out. Someone must know more. Moondoctor called for Juri... Why do I know that name? I've heard it somewhere..."
...I'm sorry if this report is coming out all muddled... Doctorwynd's status report on me is not favorable either. If anyone else can confirm this fog and any accompanying details surrounding it. please come fo--
A knock on her Borealis apartment door stops her midsentence. She quickly hits the transmit button and shuts her comm port off.
