» 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?

[9S says plainly, with a surprising iciness.]
He's more like a m-machine.
no subject
[ he's really just trying to understand this time, no teasing lilt to his voice. come on, tell him your deal maybe he'll stop being an asshole about it. no promises tho. ]
no subject
A m-machine can't feel. They don't have emotions, or a h-heart. That's what separates us androids from t-them.
A "toaster oven" d-d-doesn't feel.
no subject
no subject
[It's a little awkward to explain now. 9S hesitates briefly before he elaborates.]
Humans often attributed emotions to the h-heart, even though logically it all t-takes place in the brain.
I suppose it's b-because... [He lifts a trembling hand, fingertips lingering over his chest.] Sometimes that's where you f-feel it.
no subject
no subject
After a while's consideration--] ...Yeah. I do.
no subject
[ sorry he's not slowing down any time soon. if 9s wants him to understand what (and who) he is then he's going to learn. thoroughly. not to mention it's a good distraction right now. ]
no subject
[9S furrows his brow and takes a moment to focus on his hacking before he answers the rest of Miller's questions.]
A series of m-mechanisms. Chemicals affect us too, so it's p-probably not as far off as you might think.
no subject
[ a quick agreement even as he watches 9s. it's all he can do now so it's not like it matters. ]
You think I've made all these pre-judgments about you, but I haven't. Do you consider yourself human?
no subject
[Small attempts at humour aside, 9S shakes his head.]
No, I may be m-modeled after humans, but that doesn't make me one.
no subject
[ at least he's honest??? no, he's just so tired, rubbing at his face again and shaking his head. ]
Whatever. I don't care if you like me or not. You're probably smarter if you don't. How's that code coming?
no subject
[9S says with exasperation, which happens to be the easiest inflection for him to muster right now.]
There's n-nothing...nothing new, anyway. I don't th-think we'll find any answers h-here.
no subject
[ though it's hard to pick just one. ]
Does that mean it's nap time? [ because boy is he feeling like it should be. ]
no subject
Do you n-need me to escort you back to your r-room?
no subject
Sure, kid. Why the hell not?
no subject
Um... D-do you just want to walk like this? Or I could c-carry you.
no subject
I can walk. Besides, I'm a ghost, remember?
