Ancient Plague

[Tenacity]

"Sorry for the delay, we've been working as fast as we can, and we have finally come up with something... good news and bad news. The good news is that the virus begins in a proto state that genetically adapts to the lifeform it encounters, and once adapted it cannot spread outside the host body. This means that it is not contagious outside of initial contact with the containment vessel itself. The Hatsuzakura should be free to dock back at Blood Dragon facilities without worry of spreading the plague."

"The bad news is that we can find no cure, nothing we do seems to have any effect on the infected cells. For now, there are only two courses of action we can take for the infected crew of the Hatsuzakura... kill them, or leave them in stasis until a cure can be found, and there's no telling how long that might take."

"Further deciphering of the tablet we found has indicated that this plague was artificially created by the K'vosh, though we are still unaware of its true purpose. There are marked similarities between the infected cell samples we've been studying, and the cells of Nomad forms, indicating that the virus could actually be what originally created the Nomads themselves."
