» 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?

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?
no subject
We are only as strong as our weakest link here, Jim.
no subject
( of course he could find a way to be offended about that even when he felt like shit. never doubt him, boys and girls! )
no subject
Yes. Now stop it, we have to move.
no subject
( he straightens up with a lot of effort, feeling that black shit oozing through him and making it hard to even focus. it was in his eyes, wasn't it? was it in his eyes? fuck. )
The medbay's not going to be able to help. I can feel this everywhere.
no subject
[ but now he's concerned about his ears, glancing at them even while helping him to his feet. ]
Then we're going to your quarters.
no subject
( ordinarily, that would be dramatic but it really did feel like everything was awful. she was making him walk and all he wanted was to sit down and vomit. )
I can't keep moving.
( a streak of black blooms on his cheek and he winces, turning away from her and breathing noisily. )
no subject
You're being childish. What would you do if a member of your crew was behaving in such a way?
no subject
( jim frowns at her before pulling away, trying not to pout at being called childish when he felt so bad. )
I'll do it myself. Go away.
no subject
You can't do anything yourself, Jim. You're ill. Let me help you.
[ men and their pride. she's about through her patience with it. ]
no subject
( sort of. kind of. he could probably crawl. )
Are you going to sit over me? Hold vigil? Tell me stories?
( actually he might like that. )
no subject
[ usually she'd just leave and let him cool off, but he needs her so she's not going anywhere. she tries again gentler, after taking a moment herself to calm down. ]
If you can walk then I will walk with you. And if you can't then I'll help you. Either way, I'm not leaving you in a heap in the middle of the corridor.
no subject
( far from it, in fact. but, he doesn't like being seen this weak by anyone let alone someone that he barely knows and who probably hasn't made a judgment about him yet. this is not a good look. )
You always this helpful or am I just special?
no subject
[ it sounds firm and not quite gentle as a grip of about the same measure closes around his forearm anew. ]
You aren't the only one who was part of something bigger than yourself, Jim. Out there- among the stars. Just because we're trapped here doesn't mean that goes away. It doesn't mean we're different people. I'm not taking no for an answer so come on, then. On your feet.
no subject
( but he does lurch to his feet even if he really does not want to, even if he just wants to lay down and stay there. )
My room better not be too much further away because I really don't know if I'll make it. I'm not being dramatic, I feel really shitty.
no subject
I don't technically have a rank, but I did lead a charge, same as you.
[ she holds a little tighter though she can't fully catch him if he falls. thankfully, they're only a few steps from the elevator. ]
You'll make it. [ she insists before hitting the 5 for their floor and stepping on his heels to turn the magnets on. her hand shifts to only light pressure since she isn't wearing hers, so when the elevator goes into 0 G so does she. ] I won't allow for the alternative.
no subject
( but it doesn't sound like he's insulting her. far from it. )
Bet that made you a lot of friends back home, huh?
( look at that, even manages to smirk at her. kind of. )
no subject
[ an admittance that yes, she knows she has flaws. if this is one of them she'll take it. especially if it means jim is safe. ]
My only friends were my team. I don't suppose you could relate.
[ she volleys back his almost-smirk along with the words, drifting back to the floor and gently corralling him down the hallway. ]
no subject
( maybe feeling like shit was making him a little more honest and open. at this point, he pretty much felt like he was going to die so why not babble almost incoherently? )
I was their captain and they followed my orders. Friendships don't happen that way, do they?
no subject
[ another tease, though not inaccurate really. she knows she bosses him around sometimes, but it's for his own good!!! god. ]
I'm not well-versed in the subject myself, admittedly. [ friendship, she means. ]
no subject
( but again, who could he consider a friend? who would consider him a friend and not their captain first? )
I'll be your friend.
no subject
[ she agrees, voice almost warm by contrast. she likes the idea of being jim's friend. ]
We're almost there.
no subject
( with her words in his head, he just focuses on walking, on getting there because it's taking all of his energy to stay upright now. it's taking everything in him. he stumbles a few times, stops to heave but keeps going. )
no subject
Stay with me, Jim. Only a few more feet.
no subject
( but he lets his wrist get tugged and once the door open, he stumbles in quickly, nearly falling onto his bed. his face hits the pillow, his body drapes and he just...lays there.
no movement. he's not dead but he feels like he could be. )
no subject
Good night, Jim.
