Little Help Here

Hi, I'm not really sure what I'm doing, but Krauser said I should post.

I'm locked in an underground facility of some kind, filled with monsters look like they want to eat me. I've barricaded myself in.

I'd really appreciate it if someone could come and get me and take me to 'Wesker's Island'. I promised Krauser I'd help him out.

Though if you can't get me there, if you could get me to the Karma Society facility in Portland, that'd be more than good enough.

Oh, and my name's David. Not Gale. I'm not sure who Gale is.

I'm personally more interested in curing diseases.

How can you tell?

So I am.

I just come back from work and no one noticed anything wrong with me. If something was wrong my boss would notice it for sure. And I can recognize my home.

I guess you have reason to be sure, then. I'm glad someone isn't crazy around here.

Crazy is a relative term, sadly, but yes I am glad that somehow I avoided this.

[He will try to distract him until the help arrives.] Do you like your job?

I imagine you're right.

[He appreciates that] I do. I love my job. It's frustrating sometimes. I want so much to help the people who've been infected by the Cuvier Syndrome, but I've never seen anything like this virus.

Cuvier Syndrome? I don't think I ever heard of it either.

It's new, and deadly. It turns the human body to stone, and it's quite rapid. We've found some therapies that slow it down, but we haven't been able to reverse it or prevent it, yet.

Uhm...That's really worrisome. The formation of discrete and organized inorganic crystalline structures within macromolecular extracellular matrices is a widespread biological phenomenon generally referred to as biomineralization in my world. Recently, bacteria have been implicated as factors in biogeochemical cycles for formation of many minerals in aqueous sediments, there's been found nanobacterial culture systems that allow for reproducible production of apatite calcification in vitro.

We have now evidence that this occurs in the human body as well. Previously, only struvite kidney stones composed of magnesium ammonium phosphate and small amounts of apatite have been regarded as bacteria related. 90 percent of demineralized human kidney stones now screened, contained nanobacteria. At least three different distribution patterns of nanobacteria were conditions, and human kidney stones that are formed from small apatite units.

Prerequisites for the formation of kidney stones are the supersaturation of urine and presence of nidi for crystallization. now we have evidence that nanobacteria may act as crystallization nidi for the formation of biogenic apatite structures in tissue calcification. Thus bacteria-mediated apatite formation takes place in aqueous environments, in humans and in geological sediments but it's a slow process.

Yes, you're quite correct on all points. However, the Cuvier Syndrome is unique because it doesn't simply form calcific or minieral deposits in the body, but turns all of the tissue to a stone similar to sandstone simultaneously beginning usually at the extremities and moving to the torso and head.

We haven't been able to isolate any bacterium that could be responsible, and it's far too rapid to be due to an infection in any case. We believe it is viral in origin, and is either activated or communicated through sunlight. Ever since the sun turned black, any exposure to the sun's rays can start onset, and completion can take only minutes, though can take as long as an hour.

By the time it reaches the neck It bet the person is already dead if his heart and lungs are already stone. Seems like a horrible way to die.

Viral infections are so hard to contr...your sun turned black? And there's still life in your planet?

It is a horrible way to die. Many sufferers have tried to kill themselves because of the terrible pain. There's a statue...well, I won't go into gruesome detail.

Yes, it looks rather like a permanent full solar eclipse. It doesn't seem to have changed the weather at all.

You really don't have to give me details. I wish you luck finding a cure.

What about the plants and the animals?

Thank you, Doctor Chase. I appreciate it.

They're affected also, though plants are the slowest. We've been driven slowly underground as this spread and there are domes being built over the major cities.

Welcome, David.

It's surprising that they're not dying faster because of the lack of light.

There is the same amount of light, strangely. I can't say that anyone understands the phenomenon.

It's not very logical. That would drive my boss nuts.

I couldn't agree more. Frankly, it's driving us all nuts.

btw all that Chase is saying? It's from a real medical file :/

That. Is. Fantastic.

Ikr? :3 Life is so weird.

It really is XD;;;

That was from the NASA XD

oooh, cool XD

yes~
