So in other words, this world infects outsiders as well?


*Nods*
Right. Our medical professionals who went down to help initially, ended up sick themselves, and are virtually stuck with no aid at the moment.
<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*Waves my hand as I step through the examples*
Social contagions, information hazards, infectious biologies, curses, or even diseases that are there, but you aren't looking for.


Right, I’m with you. While I’m admittedly not the world's greatest expert in magic or curses, I can say that I can feel something is amiss. Even just from orbit around the planet, something feels genuinely off about the energy of their world. My biggest concern is, nearly any further investigation begs for more people to be exposed to harm.

*While cleaning a glass with a rag, fills two shot glasses on one of my sickles and slides them in front of each of you*
Enjoy, hons.


*Nods in appreciation*
<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

If the next round is on you, gladly.


What a tough bargain… Sure thing.
*Turns to the bartender*
One for the both of us.

For microbial diseases, perhaps.


Elaborate.
<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*Downs the shot in one clean motion*
No mere disease? What brought you to that conclusion?


We have doctors who swear there is no pathogen of any kind, despite ending up sick themselves. A communicable illness with no pathogen. Sounds like a contradictory existence for some disease, no?
<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Internal strife?


*Shakes my head*
No, not quite. We received message about a world of folks who were struggling with disease, actually. They couldn't solve their problem on their own, so they reached out, offering anything in exchange for saving them.
*Leans forward with my elbows on the counter*
It's no mere disease, but we have no idea what it is.
<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Forever at war, eh?


If battle were my conundrum, we'd have the problem well in hand.
<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*Tips my glass upward*
An IA general graces me with his presence.


And I wish it were under more casual circumstances.
*Takes a seat in a stool next to you*

*Sits at the counter, shot glass in hand and chatting up the bartender*


*Glances around every other face at the bar before stepping directly to you, nodding to the bartender before speaking to you*
Colgate.
