“Doctor Plague” releases virus at the Annual Spring Gala, demands ransom

By Katie Ellen, May 31st, 2022 Hundreds of people have suddenly fallen ill to a mysterious new virus during an attack the Annual Spring Gala. On the night of March 30th, the gala was attacked by a mysterious man wearing a plague doctor costume, who filled the building with sleeping gas mixed with a pathogen called “Bubonic X”.   When police arrived, they found the dead body of Dr. John Keller, the host of the event, on the convention stage. He is reported to have died from an overdose from a chemical that was injected into his body. After his death, the masked man left a note, calling himself “Doctor Plague” and demanding a ransom of 10 million dollars for a cure.   Security camera footage shows that Emerald-Man arrived at the scene of the crime, intercepting Dr. Plague and his gang. Some speculate he was among the many who was infected. He disappeared before the police arrived to the scene.   According to Detective Jackson McGee, Dr. Plague is reportedly the same man behind the homicide of Horace Palmer, who died from anthrax asphyxiation. Police speculate his true identity is Kevin O’Reilly, the fugitive medicinal chemist who used to work at Advanced Medical Solutions.   “If he is indeed O’Reilly,” District Attorney Jude Eshell replies, “the motives behind the killings are clear: a desperate man looking for a way to escape prosecution for his malpractice. He is quite clearly mad.”   Currently, the Keller Medical Center is holding many of the victims of the attack in it’s emergency room, and is quite overwhelmed. If you believe a loved one was a victim of the attack, K-Intune suggests reaching out to the police department. Currently visiting hours are closed at the hospital to address the crisis.
