I think we've got a little incident on our hands.

If you have witnessed anyone suffering from flu-like symptoms (nausea, fever, chills) that culminate in aggressive behavior, isolate them and see that the person is brought to contagion containment immediately.

I also need to see any available doctors or medics.

Does anybody have any idea what's causing this?

Luis, what the hell is going on?

[notlewis]

So far, all we know is there's some kind of sickness going around that causes flu-like symptoms... and then the person who has it turns violent without warning.

Your daughter has it, and I've got her in quarantine sleeping until I can figure out more than that.

[governmentninja]

Tell me this is not what I think this is.

[notlewis]

Don't worry. It's not. The victims would have shown physical symptoms by now if it had anything to do with the T-family.

[governmentninja]

Okay, so what are we looking at?

And tell me you can save my daughter.

[notlewis]

I don't know. But we'll figure it out. I haven't let a virus win yet on this ship.

[hexyeah]

If someone has flu symptoms but has yet to display any aggressive tendencies, should they go to contagion containment? Also, where exactly is it?

[notlewis]

It's across the hall from medical bay.

And yes. We don't want whatever this is to spread, regardless.

I will be arriving there shortly. I believe I am infected.

[notlewis]

Thanks for your cooperation. Try not to worry.

I'm on my way down.

[notlewis]

You might be a little better off than me here...

[medicalmind.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm hurrying.

How is the aggression presenting itself? Is the subject aware of what they're doing, any kind of hesitation, or is there a complete shut down of cognitive capabilities?

[notlewis]

No hesitation, just a sudden and total loss of control.

I got hit in the face by a 12-year-old, if that tells you anything.

[medicalmind.livejournal.com]

Shit.

Okay, I'll be there in two minutes.

[governorkang]

Can you tell if it's limited to certain races?

[notlewis]

No. Keep your eyes out.

I'm here.

Dr. Sera, do you know if anyone has been off the ship within the last 48 to 72 hours? Or any idea as to a 'patient zero' as it were?

[notlewis]

Nobody's been off the ship as far as I know.

The first patient I saw was Sherry Redfield-Kennedy, but that isn't to say she is the first one to come down with these symptoms at all.

I have two patients exhibiting similar symptoms under my care in medical. I'll bring them to you as soon as I'm done here.

One is Fletcher Tringham, by all indications a normal human child. But the other is much more disturbing to me. She is Nanashi, a vampire queen from her world. Biologically speaking, there is only one disease a vampire can fall victim to. This isn't it. The only living creature that can live on a vampire's blood is a vampire. And as old and as powerful as she is, even that is unlikely.

This is far from the flu. I've done a lot of research into blood, and I am sure I can help you isolate whatever may be doing this.
