Re: Tollan Homeworld (Space and Planetside)
Talok shook his head.
"We've had no reports of any follow-up attacks from a hive, or any other ship as of yet even trying to take advantage of the situation. Then again, Tollana is the biggest target hit yet with this bio-weapon. From what we've been able to tell as well, the virus, if that's what it actually is, it's capable of blanketing an entire planet no matter what precautions are taken to stop it's progress. Quarantines have no effect on slowing it down, it's likely one hundred percent air-borne, and the device that you mentioned must saturate the entire atmosphere with it to ensure success. However, we've been told from other planets that some people haven't even gotten sick, while others have but managed to recover from it, while still others have died from it. My best guess is that it was originally intended to prevent feeding wraith, as we know it kills them when they try to feed as well. Killing humanoids from the sounds of things appears to be a bonus for whoever is responsible for it all. Now that we know what we're looking for though, we can get the word out. As for fighting that ship, from the sounds of it she can give my ship a good run too, which isn't good."
At this point another Tollan entered the room on the screen, and spoke some words with Nareem. When he spoke to them again in English, he had a surprised tone to his voice.
"We may have caught a break here. My lead medical scientist managed to isolate the virus in one of our patients. She tells me that it has two unique compounds to it. One of them is consistent with the Trabal drug used in Pegasus to try and stop the rebel wraith from feeding on their population, and as you know the rebels leveled the planet in response. Evidently someone found this drug or how to make it though. The second part however is what concerns me the most. It bears signatures in it that are eerily similar to that of the plague the Ori unleashed when the war first broke out. If that is the case, since they are no longer hostile to us, they may be able to help find a way of combating this thing."
