Epidemic Exsilium: Stage Two

Date & Time: June 8th - June 14th
Location: Throughout Exsilium
Characters: Anyone participating in hunting down the sleeper agents; anyone participating in taking care of the ill, or being ill themselves.
Summary: Stage Two of the Super Virus Epidemic strikes; sleeper agents of the United Earth are revealed.
Warnings: Illness, violence, needles. (Those IVs, man!)

Sniffles and coughs aren't unusual during the spring, with people combating allergies even in the far future, and colds being as present as always. But with more and more people falling ill, and none responding to antibiotics, things are starting to get worrying.

The first death is of an infant, on the night of the 7th. It's not the only one: three more are recorded not long after. It's unknown about the state of patients who never presented for medical assistance. Those familiar with viral infections fear the worse, especially as the usually healthy demographic starts arriving, coughing and displaying symptoms of the same sort of illness.

If that's not enough out among the natives, the Initiative has received its own information and insight into the true nature of the virus. "Wasmannian" Agents, spies of the Initiative in the United Earth, have reported back information at great cost to their security in their undercover positions. There is a super virus headed your way. They've been shipping it in to the island since December 3312. These are the manifests. We've deciphered most the code-names. Good luck.

Now the Initiative turns to the Transports for additional manpower to hunt down the United Earth's sleeper agents, pick up the shipments of the virus, and track down its physical origins in order to do something to stop the impending decimation of Exsilium's population.

Things are getting scary. It's a sick, sad world out there. Where are you, in the middle of it all?

Can you please stop being a prick for just one second? [ she's almost begging him. ]

You're the one who was making such a big fuss about this prick ripping you off! [ after her, of course, but she's not going to be taking the blame for potentially fucking them all over. besides, nathan's the one who's butthurt the most: he didn't get a decent paycheck. ]

I swear, I have no clue who you're talking about! Honest!

Unless you're talking about that fella that Curtis was tellin' us we had to beat up before he starts "killing us with cheese."

[He punctuates it with air quotes and a more mocking than usual tone of voice.]
aphrodisiacs: (just do your best)

[ alisha's frown almost takes half her face off. ] Er - What?

That happened months ago - [ for her. but not for him. which reminds her of a scenario where she had been in his place - behind - while simon had been in front, telling her things that were almost impossible. ]

This is such bullshit!
grannyfucker: (it's redfoo with the big afro)

[personal profile] grannyfucker 2013-06-16 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Months ago? That was the same day I got brought over here!

[He's silent for a few seconds, absorbing the info, before he makes a scoffing sound.]

So are you telling me you're from the future? I hate to be the one to tell you, but that's not your power! Although it is much better than yours.
aphrodisiacs: (who would've thought it figures?)

[personal profile] aphrodisiacs 2013-06-16 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
I'm from Christmas. [ since that sums things up so perfectly, moreso than the "the guy in the suit! the suit!" argument they had been having. as fun as ping pong is, alisha's starting to get a headache. ] So, yeah. I'm ahead of you. God, this sounds so stupid.

[ her brows knit together. why is he from the milk boy wonder years while she's from the christmas carols? she doesn't get it. she doesn't understand it. is she meant to do something? is he meant to do something? is this all just one big massive trap? ] Why the fuck would they do this to us?
grannyfucker: (walking on the street in my new lafreak)

[personal profile] grannyfucker 2013-06-16 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Christmas? Jesus, you are from the fucking future!

[That's not months, that's--well, yes, that's months, but it's more months than he expected! Halloween hadn't even happened yet for him!

He sighs and shakes his head a little. He keeps getting surprised by the nature of the weird shit that happens, but at this point, he's come to expect
some form of weird shit. Just another day in the lives of the ASBO-endowed, paying their debt to society.]

Why the fuck does anything at all ever happen to us? It's because of the storm! ...Somehow.

[no it's not, Nathan.]

[ it's because of you, nathan. but alisha doesn't say that. not for today, anyway. ]

[ but nathan blaming the storm allows alisha to go on her mini-rant over it. she hates these powers. she hates what they've taken from her - from them. and she hates that they make them so stupid that nathan always dies and they're always running from the law. ]

Everything is because of that fucking storm. We never would've been involved in - People wouldn't be dead. Our lives are shit because of these stupid powers.

We were probably sucked into this shithole because of them!

[ and excuse alisha for a moment: she raises her hand to cover her mouth as she suffers from a slight coughing fit that doesn't evolve into hacking out her lungs like nathan. no one could ever top him. ]
grannyfucker: (this is how i roll)

[personal profile] grannyfucker 2013-06-17 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
[wow that sure is...a lot of vitriol. Definitely more than he expected, based on what he knew of Alisha, but. Come to think of it, he really didn't know her all that well compared to Kelly or Simon, did he?

But, as always, leave Nathan to be the eternal optimist.]


Hey now, I know your power's shit, but I'm pretty pleased with mine! Sure, I can't keep track of how many people we've killed by now, but at least I'm still alive after the five times I've died already! Besides, we were already stuck with community service, at least we got some cool superpowers to make up for it! [y'know, except for you.]
aphrodisiacs: (stop being so fucking mysterious)

[personal profile] aphrodisiacs 2013-06-17 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ ALWAYS EXCEPT FOR HER. if only she could be more like nathan! tall, dashing, immortal! but, instead, it leaves her with a cocked eyebrow and a forever judgy face when it comes to nathan young. ]

It's not like you can even bring people back to life, yeah? Your power's completely shit. All it ever does is save you. [ which is completely selfish, by the way. but she won't say that. since, you know, he should know by the emphasis she places on that particular word. ]

[ and she takes a moment to think. ] After you die.
grannyfucker: (hey fuck you I'm actually upset okay!!!)

[personal profile] grannyfucker 2013-06-17 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow, ouch! As soon as she says it, his mind brings up memories of Jamie. How stupidly unfair his death was, and how stupidly unfair it was that he could still see and talk to Jamie after the fact but not do a single thing to help him.

Nathan does not want to deal with this. He pushes back, on the defensive now.]


Oh, well at least I can do something useful, instead of being a walking danger bubble!

[He overdid it. Here goes another coughing fit. When he finally gets it under control, he faces Alisha again with a slight sneering frown on his face.]
aphrodisiacs: (i can cast a spell)

[personal profile] aphrodisiacs 2013-06-17 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ oh no he didn't! she understands what he's referring to, but alisha's going to play dumb. her power is dangerous for herself. but she doesn't expect him to really care about her well-being. ]

[ she doesn't even flinch or make a move when he starts in on a coughing fit. the fucker could die for all she cared right now. (though, she might cry if he did. only because he's such a twat). ]

[ so, she frowns. ] We're all walking danger bubbles, you twat. You can just fucking come back to life. All of us will die if you do something stupid to one of those powered freaks!
grannyfucker: (prepare for a jerkoff!)

[personal profile] grannyfucker 2013-06-17 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but at least the rest of us can bump into each other without a problem! You're an inconvenience--like running out of toilet paper when you've just had a massive wet shit!

[He mimics a massive wet shit in his hands as if he is holding one. It is about the size of a duffel bag.]
aphrodisiacs: (that's rank)

[personal profile] aphrodisiacs 2013-06-17 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ so, the size of his head? either way, alisha's staring at nathan as if he's - well - he's himself. it's the patent nathan young look of brows knitted together and her mouth open in digust. ]

Of course you'd know all about shit. [ she rolls her eyes. ] If anyone is a shithead, it's not me, it's you! You can't even stop yourself from fucking dying. And you're calling me useless?

At least I know how to control my power. [ except not really ... she sure knows how to not activate it, that's for sure. ]
grannyfucker: (girls be lookin like damn he fly)

[personal profile] grannyfucker 2013-06-17 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
Pfff, why would I want to control my power? Always good to have it on, you never know when you might need it!

[Although admittedly, he would appreciate being able to turn on and off the 'seeing dead people' thing. This place is just lousy with dead people all clamoring for his attention.]
aphrodisiacs: (who would've thought it figures?)

[personal profile] aphrodisiacs 2013-06-19 12:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ alisha looks at him as though he's an idiot. because, lets face it, he is. ] Maybe so you don't die? Wouldn't it be better to, you know, fucking heal first?

[ or running from your attention ... ]
grannyfucker: (girls be lookin like damn he fly)

[personal profile] grannyfucker 2013-06-21 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that would be nice, but I don't think that's how it works.

[He falls silent for a moment, but then decides to follow that up.]

Besides, I'd rather die first than automatically start healing myself back up before I can pull myself off the pipe I've just been impaled on! It's rather hard to find a shirt that fits over that sort of thing, you know.
aphrodisiacs: (it's the good advice you just didn't tak)

[personal profile] aphrodisiacs 2013-06-21 09:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ alisha wishes there were a pipe around here for her to push him onto. ] I meant after you got off of the pipe. Your power would only be worse if you healed while on it. Jesus. No one wants you walking around with a knife in your head.

[ but she sure is imagining it ... ]
