Hutchin’s Disease Connection Found provides an update on the mysterious disease caused by the Twilight Fog.
Direct report[]
The following text is copied from in-game. Typos and inconsistencies preserved.
An illness has been reported in connection with what scientists are naming the “vacuum translucency phenomenon” or VTP. Discovered nearly fifteen years ago in an outer region of the Fringe, these vast clouds of hazy space, for reasons yet unknown, distort and bend light just as would planetary fog. It was long feared that passing through such a region might cause physical changes in life forms, and though tests have remained on going since their discovery, no concrete evidence had yet been discovered.
Now, thanks to research from the Centauri Seven Medical Base, a rare malady called Hutchin’s Disease involving hallucinations, anti-social behavior, and severe paranoia has been isolated, occurring only in those pilots having experienced extensive contact with the Twilight Region. The Halley Medical Facility in orbit around Neptune has agreed to accept all sufferers of Hutchin’s Disease in hopes of both discovering a cure and unlocking more secrets of this strange spatial phenomenon.
