    Although I may need to talk to him/her OOC wise IG or via PMs, due to ATM all Felith can do is tech stuff, like tracking mystery signals, or anything else available to him, if/when he gets out of the hospital.

    Whoever is running this needs to give far more information. I have serious issue with the hijacking of an uncured "disease" talked about in lore, even if it is a "modified" version of it. Either it is a variant of ape flu, and it remains uncured, or it is falsely assumed/labeled disease, which is player made/curable.

    A lot of issues with this, actually. It would likely require a MINIKNOG doctor to recognize Ape Flu, never-mind a modified strand. Then there's the fact that if it IS Ape Flu, a scientific juggernaut has not been able to crack it. Beyond that, Ape Flu is such a vague entity. Is it real or propaganda? Is it a controlled weapon used by the Minknog to pacify dissent? Is it an actual disease the Miniknog are trying feverishly to cure? What are the symptoms? How does it spread? And on and on and on.

    It would have to be the later considering multiple characters have already been infected with the disease, and I assume at some point some of them would like to be cured. The perpetrator could be calling it "Ape Flu" to increase panic, though, which would make all things considered.

    I would just like to thank Pandora. Flora, Sharptooth and Storm for playing their parts in good faith that their characters wouldn't be killed off unfairly and for allowing this to grow so big, you guys really bit the bullet on this one.

    Ape Flu or no, there are a few questions that need answered.

    • Established symptoms?
    • Transition methods?
    • Incubation time (obviously rather short)?
    • Etc. Etc.

    I think by "Bit the bullet" he means "Dodged death fairly" or something.

    Huh. Right. Wouldn't want someone to know what they're signing on for as they choose to be an infected. Or how quickly they should escalate their illness. Or in what way. Such information could NEVER come in handy. Forgive me.

    Invictus, try not being so passive aggressive when people, myself included, have reasonable concerns. "Events" like this can only work if people are on the same page.

    Pretty sure Felith would be classified as a "Hunter" at this point.

    Look I know its your job to be on top of things but everyone involved has thus far been rolling with it, sure its a little bit unclear but understand that I had to cook this up on the fly because the OP wants to remain a secret to avoid metagaming. Everyone is enjoying themselves and something is actually going on in the galaxy now, and no one is complaining. Excuse me for taking your comments a little personally when I've been trying to make this work out in a way where everyone can get involved, the last thing I need is to get ooc heckling by two people who don't seem to even want to be invested in this instance in the first place.

    Trust that I know what im doing and get at me once someone complains, then ill understand where you're coming from.
