Patient Zero Plot: Mod Post #1
As many of you have surmised, this will be a disease plot that plays into the overarching metaplot.
Throughout the week I'll be PMing the first round of patients (all Capitol and Panem citizens, so far) with their symptoms (which will not all be the same character to character). It will be up to you to play these symptoms out, both with each other and later with the scientists studying the mysterious ailment. Other patients and NPCs will start succumbing in the weeks to come.
The "scientists" will, once they're back from the Arena if that's applicable, be enlisted by the Peacekeepers to help treat the Capitol citizens. It will be up to players to put on their thinking caps and figure out what disease or diseases is affecting the populace and the whys and hows of how it came to be. If you think you have it figured out, you should PM me and I'll tell you if you're right on the money, close, or completely out there, and we can work out the IC reveal.
If the plot ends up dragging too long without a solution, one of the mods will reveal it, but I'm pretty sure you and your characters will figure it out!
Furthermore, if you signed your character up as a scientist but they'll be in the Arena, the Gamemakers, understanding the Peacekeepers' need for off-world expertise, will start using Gamemaker traps to try and kill your character and get them back to the Capitol faster. So feel free to have your character have absolutely comedic bad luck this Arena. Currently Zoidberg, Wesker and Penny are the only scientists in the Capitol, so the first patients may be quite eager to see some fresh and friendly faces.
