From the desk of Avalek Tinsou, MD, PhD:
Welcome to the living document that is the NEIH DMID Catalog, a veritable treasure trove and ever growing database of all that is immunology, infectious disease, virology, bacteriology, parasitology, mycology, and more. I and my colleagues wish to extend our deepest gratitude to all who have added and continue to add to this information trove. But most importantly, we want to thank you.
Because of a need for knowledge, a requirement for information, a demand to be in the know about all that is medicine, we have managed to transcend the boundaries of country, policy, religion, and creed in the form of this multi-national organization and database. Because of you, and other diligent and demanding professionals, students, and researchers, we have made this a reality. The DMID and other departments of the NEIH have taken great strides in developing their own public databases in the hopes of informing people of ALL Empires, and ensuring their medical care professionals are providing the best care a patient deserves.
May this database grow, and may it help to heal more than just physical ailments. It is our hope that this may be the first step to a more united Cluster through the ever-present power of curiosity and a desire to learn.

=======================================
EXPLANATION:
While brainstorming more about Anslo's background and how his story will progress and perusing the world building thread, I got to thinking about something that seems to be missing from Eve (or maybe it's just not bothered with much because no one cares).
Aside from the Kyonoke Pit Virus, there aren't any other viruses, bacteria, infections, or diseases that are spoken about in great depth. Sure you have Heth's slow disease but...I don't know much else about it aside from it being neurological. So, I had an idea! A small project to begin creating semi-scientifically realistic sicknesses that could effect people and potentially capsuleers. I'm not talking about hurrhurr zombies, but just something to add some flavor to the RP.
A lot of people have colonies and stations and outposts they use and put baseliners on to act as they need them to and grow the colony. But what's to stop something like a rogue microbe or bacteria from entering someone and playing havoc with their nervous system? Or say, cause infection of various pores in the body to create sores? Or even a neuroparasite?
I just wanted to get the idea out there and see what others think. Feedback? Ideas?
EXAMPLE: Chemolithoautotrophic organisms do not require organic compounds to facilitate a life providing metabolic reaction and can, therefore, survive on rock, metal, and other inorganic compounds. What would happen if a neuroparasitic chemolithoautotrophic organism could infect a subject and sustain itself on said subjects implants? Not necessarily capsuleer, but baseliner as well.

Abstract: Initial offering of commercial implants and limited manufacturing material regulation throughout Abune IV Shard Cities led to an outbreak of an unknown illness. Initial infection was asymptomatic save for stiffness and soreness around implant area until severe symptoms emerged (sporadic seizure, wide spread bacteremia, internal to external bone fracturing, necrosis, rare cases of neural degeneration).
Manufacturer shut down immediately when discovered that neglect of consumer safety led to outbreak. Epidemiological investigation identified direct cause as a new type of bacteria (telisium mycobacterium). Intracellular regiment utilizing prototype adaptive reactionary learning algorithm (ARLA) guided dispersal system targeting infected areas with antibiotic (TEMORVAX) effective.
HISTORY: No cases of illness noted before Abune IV index epidemic occurred. Bacteria seemingly inherent in ore which implant components were primarily based on. Autotrophic and heterotrophic feeding patterns confirmed through further investigation of Abune IV teliorite mines.
Event Summary: [REDACTED], HQ Abune IV, believed refined teliorite ore would provide the answer to cheap and mass manufactured implants (neural and non-neural) to those who typically could not afford it due to the seemingly adaptive nature of the material when tested on bone. Abune IV clinical testing and trial authority was known for corruption at the time. Speedy trial completion allowed [REDACTED] mass production and distribution of their implant within four (4) months of trial start (note: clinical trial lasted 1.5 months).
Initial cases of osteoimplantitis occurred seventeen (17) days after first implantation procedure. Patient complained of mild stiffness in neck area where neural augmentation implant had been placed. Poor procedure led to patient symptoms diagnosed as mild implant rejection. Patient prescribed muscle relaxant and anti-inflammatory. Patient readmitted to hospital ER three (3) days after release. Patient lost at 03:21 UST YC2.03.13.
NOTE: EXTENDED PATIENT CASES AND MEDICAL RECORDS AVAILABLE AT REQUEST WITH B2 AND ABOVE CLEARANCE OR SENIOR SUPERVISOR OF B2 AND ABBOVE CLEARANCE APPROVAL.
EXAMINATION: Autopsy of [REDACTED] fatalities noted necrosis and extensive infection of bone marrow. Infection and necrotic material noted seeping through fractures assumed (and later confirmed) caused by the illness in any bone in contact with implant item. Rare cases of infection of nervous system confirmed for patients with implants near or on C1-C5 vertebrae.
NOTE: FULL LAB REPORT AND MEASURES AVAILABLE AT REQUEST WITH B2 AND ABOVE CLEARANCE OR SENIOR SUPERVISOR OF B2 AND ABBOVE CLEARANCE APPROVAL.
DIAGNOSTIC STUDIES AND TREATMENT: See notice by Federal Intelligence Office for further direction in acquiring this information. Data classified as per Federal Home Security Act 51.7.
EDIT: Can a mod move this to Player Driven Content? Since this is more a catalog for use in RP I THINK it's more content to use versus fiction to read?...I think?...idunnolol
