Epidemic Exsilium: Quarantine
As of now, the United Earth has sent a message interrupting all available devices found on the island of Exsilium. The Initiative AI has allowed this message to display, while tracking the point of origin. (Edit: Now with 200% more game-wide log!)
With the United Earth stepping in directly, it can't be good news, and if any of you are thinking that: you're right.
In three days from now, on June 18th, the United Earth will start bombing the habitable areas of Exsilium. Their main focuses will begin on the Hospitals and the Hold. Those who were around in October of 2012 may remember a similar tactic being used; these bombs will fall every one to two hours for two days straight. Not all of the bombs being dropped are explosives. Some will be gas bombs, and upon detonation, will flood the immediate area with gasses that attack the eyes, nose, and throats of victims. Others will cause temporary paralysis. Yet others cause temporary blindness, or permanent, with enough exposure.
For people already having difficulty breathing, this may be the death toll ringing.
Bombing will abruptly end with an all clear signal from the Hold on the 20th of June. In the aftermath, the Initiative and the Transports will find the surviving natives have increased hostilities toward them as a whole. The willing blindness the natives indulge in in order to look the other way with regards to the Initiative and their Transports will have been pulled back into their line of vision. Those who look to obviously be a Transport, i.e. inhuman, richly dressed, anything starkly different, will be especially side-eyed and maltreated.
Some natives will resort to outright violence, but by and large, the natives will be surly, unwilling to work with player characters and Initiative NPCs, and only tolerating them for efforts made in helping renovate the city and heal the injured in the aftermath, and a short term memory of the Initiative Hospital assisting the ill during this epidemic. They want your money, but not your lingering presence, and they're not so sure even your money's worth it right now.
It will be critical to continue to help administer antibiotic cures and to offer assistance in rebuilding and clearing up the city in order to garner any good will from the natives. Even the Initiative will have to consider the majority as they also look for a way to get the Transports a functioning, safe retreat. (More on that later.)
Enjoy the rest of your June, Exsilium. It's going to be the bomb!
