[Terminus] Presence of Unknown Pathogen Confirmed

Presence of Unknown Pathogen Confirmed

By Casos Tigia, Tayseri Times

Samhaus, MEGALOS BREACH- Earlier today the Robath Freehold’s Ministry of Health released reports confirming suspicions that the steadily growing epidemic of Yisis Influenza on the capital world is, in fact, not an aggressive strain of the relatively common dextro-specific ailment as previously thought, but an entirely new virus altogether.

“This is no reason to panic or riot in the streets,” stated Division for Disease Research and Control Director Mokar in a press conference today. He further reiterated that current symptoms indicate little difference between this new pathogen and Yisis.

“Fever, aches, congestion, coughing, and fatigue, this is largely a disease that’s a danger to the very young and very old, if any at all,” Mokar said. “We strongly encourage all citizens to stay up to date on their vaccinations and, if infected, to stay home and refrain from exertion.”

Despite reassurances from on high, concerns remain, particularly among the turian military forces of the Freehold. Founded some five hundred years ago after the destruction of the Greystorm Fleet in the Battle of Keening Edge, the Freehold is a batarian-dominated nation with turians and asari forming significant minorities. Both races have largely congregated to a handful of cities and districts, and both maintain separate military forces under the jurisdiction of the Robath Department of Defense, with the turian dwarfing both the state’s standing armies and asari bands.

Updates will be forthcoming as the situation develops.

It could be worse, right? I mean it's not yellow fungus this time.

UPDATE

Military gunships seen landing on roof of Spirits of Mercy Hospital, deploying asari huntresses and state commandos as police forces cordon off building.

Well. Shit. So much for "harmless".

That's terrifying, how did it escalate so quickly? It seemed just fine only a few hours ago! Do they know how many people are infected?

UPDATE

Military teams at Spirits of Mercy have been confirmed to be acting under the authority of the Ministry of Health.

Okay, yeah, this is serious.

Huntresses don't get called in for minor outbreaks.

ah this takes me back to the days when slaughter-cough almost wiped out the whole population of Ca'Reshels so we had to be deployed to sweep up the mess kind of like a national guard thing and well i was doing logistics i didn't really see any of the camps or the sick people but i mean i didn't say this or anything but we sure were moving in a lot of flamethrowers i think i saw more fuel than medicine and well Shele'Shebesh i heard h did the same thing when the reapers started coming around at least in small colonies but who knows maybe they were just burning down crops or something who knows i didn't see it so who knows

Dude.

Punctuation, Capital letters. That's basic shit.

Also, can't really understand what you're saying. Is anyone else seeing this or is my translator fucking up?
