CHAPTER 97
You’re listening to the BBC, the voice of human triumph on this, the first day after the Atlantis Plague.
The BBC has learned that the initial reports of disorientation and brain fog associated with the cure for the Atlantis Plague were only temporary side effects of the cure.
Orchid Districts across the world now report a one hundred percent cure rate with no need for further Orchid treatments.
World leaders hailed the breakthrough, citing their historical investments in medical research and steadfast commitment to staying the course in these dark times.
In related news, sources within the intelligence community have reported that citizens of nations managed by Immari International have been ordered to evacuate coastal areas. The populations of entire regions in South Africa, Chile, and Argentina are heading into their mountainous regions with only food and water.
Dr. Phillip Morneau of the think tank Western Tomorrow had this to say:
“They’ve lost. They bet on the plague running its course, on the ruin of humanity. And we’ve come through it, like we always have. It’s fitting: they’re literally heading for the hills.”
More cautious observers have speculated that the Immari move might be part of a larger pattern, possibly the beginning of a counteroffensive.
We will update this report as details emerge.
