Purple Fever

[Phenomena, Planetology]


The planetoids known as Vupa 6 remains permanently covered by an insidious purple atmosphere that has shown varying degrees of toxicity in its direct contact with a wide range of mental disorders and motor dysfunctions, which are attributed the withdrawal of the Illyrian garrisons as well as the madness of some pirates who settled on the planet after the Illyrian retired. 

Denomination


Among the medical community, the set of mental disorders that can be suffered as a result of prolonged exposure to this atmosphere, was denominated Phoebe's syndrome (Dr. Phoebe Ygeia was the Illyrian medical head of the unique serious research on the Purple Vupa 6 environment), although it is more commonly known as purple fever. However, the medical picture is extensive and has not been studied in depth, since the Illyrian authorities protected all their information under a strict confidentiality of military secrecy.

Atmospheric Composition

The chemical analysis of this mist shows a broad spectrum of gases and metals, with high doses of various sulfur compounds and carbon monoxide, that in the long term and through long direct exposures can cause irreversible injuries to the human organism.

Pathologies

Direct or indirect and prolonged exposition to the purple haze has show very varied clinical pathologies, which includes frequent memory loss, disorientation, in severe cases, various degrees of autism and evident deterioration in cortex tissue, and often many different mental disorders related to psycho pathologies, or most commonly with madness.

Origin

The alien species known as the Yoram have altered the Vupa 6 atmosphere to create an environment they could breathe, leading to the event they denominate as "The Awakening". The scientist's belief is that the purple colourization and the adverse effects are directly consequence of the Yoram's manipulations, although this Purple Fever could be direct consequence of the telepathic control of the Yoram on all the intruders entering Vupa 6.

Countermeasures

In direct contact with the atmosphere of Vupa 6, the use of medium filters for insidious and toxic atmospheres is recommended.

In the case of direct unprotected contact, it is believed that the purple atmosphere will not begin to affect guests until about nine hours later. With longer exposures, numerous cases of stress and other pathological pictures of great diversity have been described.

Usually, for stays in environments with an autonomous atmosphere, not exposed to the atmosphere of Vupa, filters are often dispensed with because they are considered to be safe from the permissive effects of the fog, but there is a tendency to use lightweight pocket filters, even in the interior Of protected spaces.
