We were drafted initially to fight cultists within Vaskoth. About as interesting as you might think; their power was assuredly in their numbers. On the second day strange symptoms became evident in the number of our enemy. The disease spread quickly to encompass all those we fought as well as the remaining civilian population.
Those infected lost their will and ability to think, became insensible to pain, and developed an overwhelming hunger for human flesh. Transmission occurred upon contact with blood or being bitten, and potentially even from some water.
That was rather unpleasant. We went from fighting cultists to fighting what was effectively the walking dead. Some among our number began working toward a cure in the hopes one could be developed in time, whilst others were infected and had to be caged or simply put down for the safety of others.
Toward the end of the draft, an absolute limit was placed upon our powers. At that point I switched from hunting to lending my aid to those developing the cure. Biology is not my expertise, but I was able to provide help from the viewpoint of chemistry. First a partial cure was developed, in that it would arrest the mental ravages of the disease at least.
We were told a bomb would be set off within the enclosure if the cure was not developed in full. At that time we also heard of a potential "patient zero" who might be found, which would aid in the development of a full cure. Obi-wan Kenobi and myself found the person, one Korras Blake, and brought him back to the labs. Thereafter the cure was developed, and those surviving and newly cured were sent back to Luceti.
There is now a vaccine to act against the plague. If you haven't received it already I would suggest you do.
