Darmax: Space station Red Dawn Quarantined |
The Rightful Earth Alliance has quarantined space station Red Dawn after the sixth confirmed case of "fever 54-B". The illness, first contracted on the planet surface of Darmax, was thought to have been isolated on the surface colonies. The outbreak on the Red Dawn has made scientist realize that the incubation time is far longer than initially suspected, giving the disease time to transmit to other hosts before manifesting the symptoms.
Now the concern is that the disease might have been contracted by personnel transferred from the Red Dawn to other vessels. Seven ships have docked the Red Dawn before the quarantine. These ships will also be quarantined as soon as possible.
The initial symptoms of "fever 54-B" include:
- rising temperature
- increased eye pressure
- mutation of salivary glands
- difficulty in concentrating
The acute symptoms include:
- blindness
- high temperatures
- acidic saliva
- acute claustrophobia
- irrational or violent behaviour
The illness so far has been fatal in all but one case, within eight Earth days of the diagnosis.
