A Riverview Investigative Service Report, filed by Alex Reagan
Spreading an artificial plague.
After an extensive investigation conducted by this reporter with great assistance by Dr. Richard Strand and Officer Peter Grant of the London Magical Crime Unit as well as an anonymous source, the ISR has discovered the identity of the person who released the plague that was both a combination of magic and nanite technology as pointed out by both Dr. Victor Frankenstein and Tony Stark the younger in network posts. The culprit is a local woman, Sarah White, 49. Whiteis an engineer who specializes in magically-enhanced robotics giving her the ability and knowledge and skills to release this artificial virus. White is currently in police custody.
The virus was released on May 1st by City Hall, according to multiple witnesses who saw White in the area acting suspiciously. Extremely contagious by design, White artificial virus spread through the population, attacking both native and newcomer like a wildfire without any one set of symptoms or a period of illness. The only thing that the virus had in common in every instance was that the victim spent a period of time in a coma, and then woke up with no sign of having the disease or the ability to catch it again.
No new cases have been reported as of June first, and everyone who was previously infected has been awaken from their comas, with the magic and the nanites stopped.
While this reporter did not interview White herself, extensive research reveals that other than working as an engineer, during the first epidemic that affected the settlement ten years ago, White entire family was killed. Given that she had the ability to kill everyone within Riverview, and didn’t, and the attack happened during the month of Memoria which this reporter does not think is a coincidence.
More updates on the story as we get them.
Update #1
Dr. Frankenstein reported to us that in looking for a cure from immune patients, he'd collected blood samples. Those blood samples show no further signs of the virus. He adds, "My guess is that Miss White deactivated the nanites or sent some sort of command for them to be destroyed once the month of Memoria was over."

[Because they all do that sometimes, right?]
Good thing ah'm an excellent multitasker -- ah can be grateful and incredibly angry at the same time. With such a variety of species livin' here, ah think we're lucky no one died. Do we know if anyone has had any residual negative effects? Say to their abilities?
no subject
As for the side effects: not that I've heard from Dr. Frankenstein. Everyone has been just fine when they woke up, as I understand it. And everyone is awake so if it has happened, I don't think anyone knows about it.

[Why should she be surprised that there's a mad scientist with a history of creating monsters here? There are two Tony Starks after all.]
no subject
He's a really good guy.
no subject
[Maybe he really is the mad scientist?]
But the plot's definitely thickened.

Ah can understand that. We trust our own kind as doctors more than others.
no subject
[And he didn't think she was insane the minute she mentioned demons. That was a huge plus in her book.]
no subject
Sugah ah'm a mutant, we each usually come with our own unique set of medical challenges. Trustin' those without understandin' of those ain't so easy.
no subject
Oh my god! I'm so sorry. I didn't know!
no subject
[Not everyone knows and that's just fine with her.] Most of us look like regular humans.
no subject
[And in the future, Alex will try not too.]
