» WHAT? Characters begin suffering mysterious and varied symptoms. (More info can be found HERE.)
» WARNINGS? illness, body transformation, loss of limb, general body horror, blood, gore
Characters start suffering from a light fever. They’ll feel tired and achy, more inclined to bundle up in a warm sweater (if they have one) and drink tea or have chicken soup in bed than anything else. Unfortunately, the food fabricators still don’t provide the best comfort food.
Admittedly: some people are more affected than others. Some don’t seem to be affected at all.
For some characters, the fever will go away and they will feel fine for a brief period. It was probably just a cold, right? And then new symptoms set in: something dark and black spreads from their heart toward their extremities through their veins, making them stand out strongly. It hurts a little, or maybe a lot and no one knows what causes this or what it is that is spreading so darkly through their veins.
For some other characters, the fever will also go away and they will feel fine for a brief period before different symptoms set in: something hard starts spreading beneath their skin, making movements just a little more difficult for affected areas. The pain of this ranges from light discomfort to severe.
For yet other characters, the fever grows worse. They experience hallucinations of their extremities turning to dust, just the way it looks when someone arrives on or disappears from the station. They lose sensation in their extremities during those hallucinatory episodes, so if they reach out to touch something with a hand they think has disappeared, they’ll feel nothing. If they try to walk and then hallucinate their legs disappearing, they’ll stumble and fall to the floor.
For some characters, the blackness spreads and brings additional symptoms and worsening conditions with it: their skin starts to rot and fall off, toe or fingernails or entire toes or fingers might rot and fall off, wounds open that ooze a black and foul smelling, thick fluid dripping without looking to stop even if pressure is applied. It’s painful, and the open, infected looking wounds will not close, however much characters try to treat them.
Slowly, these characters’ bodies seem to rot and decay while they still live. For non-organic characters, it’s as if their wires are melting down, metals merging together and seeping through components.
For other characters, the hardness spreads and brings additional symptoms and worsening conditions with it: some of their joints may no longer move at all, their skin turning hard and impenetrable. Characters will also their sensory perception of affected limbs/surfaces, becoming unable to notice when someone touches them on an affected area. They may also lose any other sense if the infection spreads to their eyes, their ears, their mouths. Moving is slow, difficult, painful, until it becomes practically impossible. The noises their joints make seem robotic.
Slowly, these characters seem to turn into something else. Something hard and metallic, something unfeeling and impenetrable. Something inhuman?
For those who were still suffering from the fever, it seems like there is finally some good news: the fever lets up - but then affected characters find first their skin and increasingly the entirety of their body turning translucent and insubstantial. It will start with their skin and spread to the tissue beneath. One moment, they are able to see their own organs working, their heart pumping as their ribcage turns see-through… and a while later, well. Have you ever watched someone’s heart disappear? Now’s your chance.
It might reappear for a moment, as though flickering in and out of existence. It might disappear entirely. Slowly, these characters seem to fade from existence.
The tables turn as characters’ bodies gain ground in the fight to return back to normal, but some changes disappear sooner than others and some might even seem to be permanent.
What is wrong with you? What is wrong with everyone? What caused it and how can these symptoms be treated, halted, reversed?
Is there a cure or is it possible to at least understand what’s going on?

"Goddamn... microwave. You shouldn't sneak up on people like that! Jesus."
no subject
"I apologize, I'm experiencing some hardware and/or software malfunctions," The voice, his voice, sounded like a recording, tone helpful, polite and measured. A tone that didn't match his expression in the least bit.
Honestly, he was trying to run a self-diagnostic, unsure why he was having such a difficult time moving or even feeling his extremities.

no subject
Where's...? Oh!
"Lieutenant Anderson? I- I'm not sure," And just as quickly as Miller had brought him up, Connor tilts his head a little and shoots a text to Hank, "I've just sent him a message."
Connor narrows his eyes a little at Miller, looking the man over, "Are you alright? Your heart rate is notably elevated."
no subject
He looks around, wondering how he got down this particular corridor. It's hard to get around when you keep blinking in and out of fucking existence. And Connor seems to be in a similar predicament since he can't get complete control of all his systems.
"Where were you headed, robot?"
no subject
Miller's mention of Hank had done nothing but send a wave of worry through Connor. As it had become more obvious that symptoms were being felt station-wide, he'd been rather desperately attempting to find a way to cool off before he shut down. He had no idea how Hank was.
"I was..." He has to process back a bit of information. The sudden shut down hadn't done him any favors, "My core was overheating. I was... -I thought maybe if I could..."
Saying it now sounded ridiculous, but... "The pool. I thought maybe the cool water could keep me from overheating to the point of a forced shut down. I don't think I made it there."
no subject
"Pool's this way. Will that really work?" What? he doesn't know dick about robots. Maybe all he needs is a quick splash and he'll be right as rain.
no subject
"Miller. You misunderstand-"
He made it a few steps and then stumbled a little, one of his ankles rolling slightly as he tripped over his own foot and didn't step quite right as he brought his other foot down. Luckily, he mostly stayed on his feet, thanks to the wall.
After a soft 'oof' as his shoulder hit the wall, he continued what he'd been trying to say.
"I already shut down. And rebooted here. I'm no longer overheating. Now... I'm not entirely sure what's wrong with me. My diagnostics seem to imply that the thirium in my system has nearly solidified," He sounds remarkably calm about the whole thing.
no subject
"I'm not strong enough to carry you." So you're on your own basically. Even if he were, he can't keep hold of anything. It's infuriating. "I can call someone, one of those stacked up military guys. That's the best I can do for you, toaster oven."
no subject
The offer to help surprised Connor. He really didn't think Miller liked him much. Maybe he didn't, maybe that didn't matter.
"You don't have to carry me anywhere. Or call anyone," His LED flickered before returning to the solid red it had been, "Something's happening on the station. I'm not sure how able anyone is at the moment. I'll be fine here."
He offered Miller a soft smile, "I appreciate the offer though. Really."
no subject
no subject
All Connor could do was offer Miller a fake looking smile, an attempt to reassure the man.
"I'll be fine. And... no, I don't experience boredom. If nothing else I can switch to a low energy mode or hibernation," He said confidently. Connor seemed to resign himself to his current fate, still unsettling calm about the entire situation.
"I can see send and receive messages. Even if I can't move," He was still connected to the network, maybe that was why he wasn't too concerned about being left alone in the hallway.
no subject
He thumps Connor once on the shoulder, frowning as his fingers phase through at the end and yanks his hand back.
"See you around, kid." And he's off, flickering in and out of sight until he clears the corridor.
