Doctor,are you alright? Thank goodness you're here! # Iam a bit confused but... how may I be of assistance? # Come with us to the Center,Doctor and you will see for yourself,Doctor. * Ravena is now known as BradfordJen # Just a minute Director. Shouldn't we see if he's injured like the others? # We sarched the Ferry for you ,Doctor,and you wer alone.No sign of any companions,sorry! # ::looking Doctor up and down:: You're way off course from the docks, Doctor. How'd you get all the way over here so quickly? # To be honest, I have no idea how I got here <:-)> # Why am I here, by the way? # Well,now that you ARE here,down to business,Doctor! We have DISTURBED patients for you to help! # What is wrong with them, Dr...? # You have the staff spinning in circles looking for you. When the ferry docked empty we feared the worst. # Our Patients are having delusions,Doctor,it's like an EPEDEMIC! # Do you really think it docked empy? Seems more likely the people on it have wondered off somewhere # Oh sorry, Bradford, Ray Bradford... one of the few sane councilors at Phoenix House left. # Shall we head for the center then. You can fill me in on things there. Along with me Dr Rodgers of course,Doctor. # Stout heart Bradford we'll get to the bottom of this I'm sure @ = Phoenix Center % + Phoenix House <@ it is> # The sooner we get to it the better.

Why is that ? @ Doctor,we cannot risk taking the patients to the mainland due to the diseases' contagious nature! @ ::Examines first patient he comes to::: @ Liquid death is the latest craze. Poor, stupid saps. Some dealer offers them a quick escape and they'd sell their own mothers to get it. @ Some of our Staff have been compromised by this infection as well,Doctor! @ But in all my years in drug treatment, I've never seen withdraw symptoms like this. That's usually the worse it comes in the field. @ ::Shakes head:: How can the human species be so creative and bold and yet give up to dispair so easily> ? @ Your lips to God's ears, Doctor. But I can't believe this is some sort of infectious psychosis or prolonged side effect. @ When we are faced with the UNKNOWN,what ALTERNATIVE is there,Doctor? * AlxKeegan has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving) @ Have you ever in the annals of medecine heard of contagious schizophrenia? @ Well once on Beta ... @ ::Is interrupted as a young priest enters with a male nurse and two men:: @ It's like the ilness was Genetically engineered,Doctor. @ And the nature of this outbreak... there's no pattern to it.

He was doing so well. Up for release next month. % His addiction was...? % Heroin. Came in as an OD case from St. Michaels. Been in and out of programs since he returned from Siagon. He was late for the 10 o'clock group session. % Uncertain,we've tried all kinds of BLOOD tests,all came inconclusive,Doctor. % What was his condition when found? % The nurse on staff found him jibbering nonsense and drooling in his bed. He was catatonic by the time we got him to the Infirmary. % Blood work was screened for drugs I assume? % ERRATIC,Doctor. At first Bradford and I dismissed it as RABIES! % All clean. We thought it was a stress response. Jimmy's had far too many flashbacks. % Rabies!. I'm surte this old place has it's vermin, but the symptoms don't fit' % Nurse on call said he kept screaming about knights ramming through walls. 5 ::Sneers:: Why with all you genious you people insist on killing each other instead of talking. % It seems like the victims never end % I've never heard of a Disease with such STRONG Hallucinationd,Doctor. Have You? % You have to ask Nixon that. % ::::Father Callahan listens intently and thinks::: % Nixon... well at lest he stops thi... ::Quickly sips coffee and hopes no one was listening too closly:: % Besides we dismissed the stress explanation after 2 of Jimmy's bunk mates and 4 others collapsed in the lunch room later. % It was near pandemonium then, I'll tell ya. %% And no physical contact? % We think this maybe an AIRBORNE INFECTION,Doctor! % The orderly on observation at the time was one of the victims. We have no way of knowing who touched whom. % Interesting. Airborne is a possibility of course, but if so why aren't we all affected, eh? % By nightfall, another dozen had fallen through the place, some in isolation wards. % It defies reasoning. % :::A piercing scream causes the Doctor to almost drop his cup:: % A scream. A good many interesting things begin with a scream %::Heads towards the source of the screaming:: % Callahan> Perhaps some pest? % No one ate the same food, drank the same drinks, shared the same schedule, or were even in the same room. It just doesn't make-- ::jumps at the noise:: % :::Puts down cup and rushes for door with the others:: % ::staff empties out into the hall where a young nurse stands transfixed in front of an empty cement wall:: % Nurse> ::points ahead of her, mouth agape but only squeaking noises coming from her throat:: % Nurse,What is it?
