Comments on “"The Houston Incident"?”

1. Going back a few posts with the General in a convinence store supposedly he was a veteran of a war . Maybe the Gulf War could,could have a connection with Mancheck.

2. 50 tons of a red cellular “substance” rained out of the sky in India 2001 and is thought to have come from a possible meteor.

   The material reproduces yet has no DNA (even when heated to 600 degrees). It’s not blood (blood doesn’t replicate). No damage and nobody became ill. But how long before something like this lands from outer space which is ACTUALY toxic to humans?

3. Redacted. Thats what its called when you black out an area of text. To redact it.

4. Danni, E-coli is bacteria, not a virus.

5. while the info about this incident and mancheck’s connection to GWS give us a clearer picture of some of the major players and their motivations, none of the agents discussed could be the cause of this incident in piedmont. Though highly dangerous, none of these agents is fast acting enough to cause people to just drop in the streets…have we already forgotten the video feed? the mortality rate looks much closer to 99% instead of 60%. Also, ‘the general’ on the liquor store camera certainly didn’t appear to be experiencing flu-like symptoms - not a sneeze or sniffle…i’m not disputing that it appears to be a biological agent, just that it doesn’t seem to be one that’s been encountered before [following our limited documentation]…i like the hypothesis provided by julie in the comments for ‘nash’s notes’…this would also explain the picture of the ‘meteor’ that you previously unearthed.
   not to belittle your loss, Andrew, but if they can’t contain this…lord help us all.

6. I’m about to head up to Canada, there’s been an outbreak and quarantine on train up there that we’ve been asked to help with. Nothing related to this mind you. So, I’ll be out of touch for a day or two till we get settled. Took a look at the pages, I remember seeing those before.

   From what I remember, it was found pretty much by accident. OBD (then part of the CDC) had been investigating another outbreak at the time when they happened upon the delivery method and the cell operating there. The delivery was rather ingenious, with the group planning to introduce the pathogen into the water by way of the fluoride injectors.

   There were a few problems with their idea, for one at the time three of the six injectors were down for repairs, meaning that they couldn’t have gotten the dispersal they had expected. Also, the city had begun plans to phase out that method of injection, so it was likely that if they did not act within the year, then the attack would have become impossible.

   The Virus intended to be used was a variation of E-Coli, very easy to come by and produce, as well as highly contagious. Problem is, though, it typically takes a pretty serious concentration to do any damage.

   I’ll send updates whenever possible.

   Wish I could help more.

   Danni.

7. keene was mentioned in nash’s notes…looks like someone directly connected to mancheck. it also looks like nash was going to investigate him. other than that im not sure, ill have to run a search

8. This definitly gives you more of an idea on was effecting Piedmont. Maybe something got into the water supply.Plus, check on Keene to see if he has recently been deployed in the area. If so, you might find yourself wondering what if Piedmont is the direct result of the similar problems that were described in the confidential form.

9. This may be of some help Andrew….

10. Cannabinoid receptors are the receptors in a person’s brain that the THC from marijuana reacts with and gives the high. The site Matt’s talking about lists how different chemicals could be used as medicines for a long list of diseases by modulating the cannabinoid receptors. It makes me wonder, are we talking about the cure or a way for a virus to cause GI problems, schizophrenia, and some of the the things we’re seeing out of Piedmont?

11. This doc is very, very grim; when I got it from wh33zer, I did not like what I saw. We have a confirmed use of the disease as a terrorist agent, plus some varied details about its nature.

    Wiki-ing up “Obligate Intracellular” results in a fairly good description on how the virus works. Like most other viruses, it cannot reproduce on its own, and therefore must use cells in its host. “Rapid Deterioration” of “immune mechanisms” sounds similar to HIV; maybe Reverend Wright was on to something. What struck me as very disturbing was that the virus has a 66% mortality rate AFTER treatment. I’ve still got my fingers crossed for your uncle, but it’s not looking good.

    We’ve also got a good idea of where it might have come from; water treatment facilities. While I strongly doubt that your town is the victim of a terrorist attack (though the case still may be), the treatment plant may be our number one in the list of sources.

    Notice the list of ‘high risk areas’ that is blacked out. Could Piedmont be one of them?

    The blueprint of the water treatment plant puzzles me. Any guesses as to its importance, or is it just a red herring?

    The worst of this document is the third and final page. “Projected casualties rsulting from failure exceed 125,000″ within Zone 1.3. Extended…could grow to 500,000 within a 72 hour…” I don’t think I’ve been more scared of a black circle. Piedmont only has around 5,000 residents, and it’s a really small town. It doesn’t seem like there’s much hope for anybody on the inside.

12. I wonder….
    what’s the connection between this guy Keene and Dr. Stone? Maybe Keene knows Mancheck or something?
    They both seem to deal with bio-agents as weapons of terror…

13. It mentions something like “All parties involved in James Quarry are in Federal Custody.” I googled James Quarry and it looks like a normal still working quarry. Also is you Google Viral Agent aK109 (The virus it refers to in the document) it comes up with something like ACYCLIC HYDRAZIDES AS CANNABINOID RECEPTOR MODULATORS but thats something to do with Marijuana lol.

    Matt on May 9th, 2008 at 8:29 am

14. ok, when I looked at that, one part of it was ’structural plans’ in other words building layout, the other picture in the document looked liked an affected area with those circles on that picture
