Outbreak

Day 1-- It was 8 months after zyr escaped and apocalypse became known.  Jade had worked tirelessly and became head of the blight project.  Constantly fighting for resources among the over stretched mage corps she finally had success.  The virus was viable.  To ensure it would spread the golemns would take over the drow brain and kill it leaving only base instincts.  The golemns were built with a desire to reproduce but needed protiens specific to drow brains to do so. Therefore they controlled their host bodies to seek after and infect other drow. She called it the t-1 strain and today it would be released. The empress may she live forever wanted it used in jong gou to eliminate the drow occupation and allow the empire to return. Jade watched as the vial was injected into a captured drow and she was then released to the under dark.

Day 2- the tracking device showed patient zero did as expected and went right to main city.  There a temple took her in and was unable to diagnosis any curse spell or sickness.  She fell to insanity and bit two priests before they killed her.

Day 3- the priestesses have contracted the t1 virus.  Attacking other sick at the temple before dieing themselves.

Day 4 - the dead from the temple were expelled to burial plots and reanimated as per lab results expected.

Day 12 - massive spread of the virus had led to attempts to isolate the city. Isolation has failed due to guards enforcing the border being bit and afraid of execution not reporting it.  Estimate death toll 12000 current infected 16000

Day 15 first indications of t1 on surface.  The drow have pulled fighters from there surface posts to fight the blight infected.  Also today a wondering band of infected overran an outpost to the surface and spilled into the ruined city of jong.

Day 18 - four drow cities completely over ran.  The drow court has.moved into exile, their infastructure command completely destroyed.  Bands of drow fight extinction in isolation one from another.  The aggressive and exponential expansion of the infected is beyond our projections.  Yet we are seeing the infected die off. Mathmatic calculations and models show this is not an extinction level event.  The drow can out think them and defend until the infected die off.

28 days later- while remnants of the drow in jong survive the blight has purged 98%.  The land is empty now ready for the empire to return.  Yet a new delivery method is needed.  Bite to bite has limited the range, no drow outside of jong will be infected, and those who have secured themselves will outlast it. The genocide machine is not perfect, and the voices in my head push for more.  I will make it carried on the air, give the golemns tba ability to fly and hunt over great distances, let it stay dormant for a week to spread in silence them strike.  No bite required. Yes, yes, that will make the voices very happy. All the drow will die.

Ooc happy Halloween.
