An escalation of our efforts seems in order, if we are to avoid being reduced to a mere memory like the first and second generation of Marina's residents. We will be more efficient--and far more likely to succeed--if we coordinate our efforts fully.

As for the cause of this epidemic: Agatha has no wits left about her to accomplish such a plague, Acumen is the very portrait of apathy where our survival is concerned, and the idea of a force outside the dome at work here approaches the absurd. Which leaves us.

We will need a comprehensive list of every inmate in the dome; once that is done we can begin our search for the source of our current troubles. Until then, finding and transporting all the afflicted to the hospital in Sector One should be our primary concern. Accounting for all of them will also make that list simpler to compile, as well as help in controlling panic.

I await your responses.

[Private to Axel]
I am in Sector Four; let me know when you are ready.

[Zero makes his way into the house, feeling Yuuki's presence inside but finding it odd that she hadn't answered the door when he'd knocked. There wasn't any movement in her life signs, indicating that she was possibly sleeping and hadn't heard him, which was odd. Even asleep, her senses should be alert enough to be aware of another presence in the vicinity. Either that or maybe she just knew it was him and what he was there for.]

[Though when he normally stopped by, she hovered around nearby like a hummingbird, but never close enough to bother him. Deciding to just enter the premises, Zero opened the door and let himself in. Heading for the stairs that would lead him to where he'd confined Hanabusa Aidou from the rest of the inhabitants, he crossed the hallway and passed the living room where he could pinpoint Yuuki's location.]

[Lying within the middle of the living room Yuuki laid motionless, sprawled across the hard polished floor. A glass seems to have shattered, broken pieces strewn across the floor beside her, mixed with a drink, chocolate, that has yet to fully evaporate. There is a slight rise and fall of her chest, which is small, but a sign that she is still breathing and alive.]


[A sense of dread washed over him as he made his way to her side, knowing that there were many people around with the same condition as what he was seeing. Dropping to his knees, he touched her and the stiffness in her body was strange. If he couldn't hear her heart beating, he'd just have assumed she was dead from her appearance. Flipping his communicator on, he addressed the facility.]

Yuuki Kuran appears to have come down with the most recent illness.

[Filtered to Defense Force]

This isn't a normal illness. The healing powers of a pureblood vampire from my world are pretty much flawless and they don't get sick or die from hardly anything. Something has to prevent them from healing to even have to opportunity to injure them for a period of time because their regenerative powers are so strong.

[Lockon was sitting on the porch, trying to catch a bit of a breather. Taking care of the other Meisters last night left him without much rest, and he had to calm himself down before Lacus arrived, so that she would not have as much to worry about. He already felt bad for ... not tricking her into coming; but for not being straightforward.

Inside, Tieria was asleep in a recliner, Lyle was fussing over re-dressing Setsuna's burns, carefully, and Haro was off being as unobtrusive as possible.]

What a damned mess...

(( OOC: Mostly closed - if one of the current houseguests calls someone else over, that's cool, too.

Also, people may come and go between the house and the hospital, but I'll edit this post if that's the case.

P.P.S.: No post order! Prepare for a mess of out-of-order posts, threadjacks, etc. \o/ ))

Hello? I don't know who to contact, but... I want to offer my help. I can't sit by and do nothing when all these people are in trouble.

[It's a tough decision to make, extending the scope of her search outside of the defense force. But there may be strong people who are not a part of the force, and she doesn't want to miss out on any opportunity. If she ends up training with someone dangerous, she will merely need to keep her wits about her.]

I am seeking assistance in weapons or physical combat training. Anyone who can assist, please respond.

I require assistance from one of you humans. Under  normal circumstances, I would dread the thought of even attempting to speak to one of these lower lifeforms, but as it is...

Count your blessings.

[Adrianna is crying, lying on her knees in the floor and trying to stay straight, but she is very weak right now. Her voice is shaky and choky, gulping between words.]

ANYONE! Please anyone!! I-I need your help! My friend i-is...! I need a doctor or something!!
