[OoC: Posted after this discussion with Sophia and this discussion with Tim]
Good evening.
If you've gone on the network, you've probably seen where I put up a post asking for samples in order to build a genetic database for the station.
Sophia and Tim have mentioned a pretty nasty-sounding blood infection coming from Sophia's homeworld, which reanimates a corpse's brain stem after death. Tim's also worried about his daughter in relation to this infection. Both of them have given me permission to discuss this with you, and Sophia's mentioned looking for her medical records from the Island as well since her primary physician isn't on the Station.
I want to minimize the risk for the rest of the Station. Are there any protocols or procedures in place for dealing with this infection I should know about? My basic plan of action so far is pretty simple; I'd like to take these blood samples in the medbay, if that's possible, and I'll do the analysis of the samples there before destroying them once I'm finished. I've never heard of anything like this infection before outside of fiction, so would anyone who knows about it be willing to teach me whatever they can about it? And can we cure this?
Thanks,
Miguel
