Records[]
A bizarre phenomenon is sweeping through the galaxy, leaving previously rational people changed in a profound way. Scientists from several worlds have pooled their expertise to find a cause and a potential cure, but they have had little success. Experts cannot even agree on whether it is a virus, some type of brainwashing, or perhaps something less scientific and more in the realm of mystics. They have, however, compiled a list of observations about these "Converted".
Most distinguishable is a sickly purple glow, or aura, around the body. The energy generated is currently unidentified and impossible to measure. The minds of the Converted are altered and though they appear to retain much of their former selves, they are driven to coordinate with the other Converted. Any former goals are replaced by a need to spread the message about something they call "The Promise," which seems to be their version of paradise for all sentient creatures. Do not mistake this for pacifism. While the Converted appear calm and collected, they will attack with extreme violence if their message is rejected-
The delivery method for this malady remains a mystery, but it is spreading fast. Nova Corps has advised isolation and quarantine until more is known.
