Raphael replies, "I understand Pandemics, Disease Vectors, and the concept of Patient Zero all too well... I was raised by a Surgical RN and I was an Army Medic and NBC Specialist as well. So, I get your analogy of the Change, but how is this important now? And how did you arrive at this Theory?" | Raphael replies, "I understand Pandemics, Disease Vectors, and the concept of Patient Zero all too well...

I had been working here in Fort Garland for about 5 years, in conjunction with SLV Physicians out of Alamosa. Two months before the CHANGE happened a hiking party out at Zapata Falls campground got sick. They had been hiking all over the Huerfano River area;Californai Peak, Twin Peaks, Lindsy Peak, Blanka, Ellingwood..I went and looked them over.. They had body bruises, gum inflamation. Hair loss. Goiters.. They looked fucked up as heck. We got them to San Luis Valley Health, a regional hospital in Alamosa. They were untreatable and looked nasty as heck. Experts came, It was nasty as hell. " |
| + | "Then...a month later everyone who had been anywhere in contact with them got sick. Some were puffy, some slim. Strange. But no one died.. We started isolation protocols the minute we got them off the mountian but people got sick anyway. We couldn't isolate against a magical sickness...People says the CHANGE happened on a certain day.. But thats not the case. It took about a week to get everywhere. But we had it for a month before everyone else. Whatever caused the Change is up in the mountains north of Fort Garland. That first group became Orcs. Blister was the dad. He may have been the first Changed." | ||
| − | + | "Well, that explains a crap ton. And Blister; First Changed... no shit. Well, all of this is quite interesting, but I still don't see how this is important in the now. Afterall, the Change has already wreaked its Viral Magic upon the world. Or do you think there is something powerful out there that could still be used in other magical ways? And perhaps this is why Colorado, and others, are so interested in the area? And who all knows about The Change being brought on by a Magical Disease and coming from this area?" | |

Christine says, "Who knows? I think the most I knew of magic before the Change was watching Penn and Teller at the Garden once. Since then it's been just trying to keep our heads above water. You getting here was the most magic in once place we had seen." | Christine says, "Who knows? I think the most I knew of magic before the Change was watching Penn and Teller at the Garden once.

"So, unlikely many know the origins of The Change. Good. And that area you mentioned up around Blanca Peak is some pretty rugged country, just from the looks of it down here. But I'm sure there's a reason you brought it up.” Rafe looks from Christine to Rodak. "So... what gives? With all that is going on here in town and with all the interest from the surrounding Nations, why bring this particular subject up now?" | "So, unlikely many know the origins of The Change. Good.

Carl and Marko want you to help stabilize this place and having this on you mind might cost us your help. But Christine and I think its worth it. Very few people know about our belief that the Change started here. But the vampires at the capital of Colorado know. A few in Washington must. Our first Mayor, Kevin Longear, set up the mayor system. Convinced Locals to come here rather them Alamosa or Walensburg, or Pueblo or Sante Fe. He said Fort Garland was going to be very important. That it had ah.. magic waters. The Ute Creek runs through here but its hardly magical. But he had been talking like that for decades I hear. Then Blister and his family changed.. And the world changed. Kevin set up the Mayor system for a month, then disappeared into the mountains. Christine and I think he knew something and finding him now... is important. Maybe important to the world." |
