I know this isn't a #disease or mental illness. No, this is a violation of my mind. My memories have been erased. I don't know who I am or why I'm incarcerated in a space prison run by insect droids.
What crime landed me here? Thievery? Murder? Treason?

"Rounding the #corner, I found myself entranced by the shining spires of Rahlee. My mind opened, and I agreed with the Revastarians: God stepped here, at that Scorch Mark, starting life in the universe."

On Bacillus V, roving degenerate viruses lurk around every #corner, as they are wont to do.
Beware.
They will cut you.
And find much mirth in it as the infection, flu and fever set in.
However, the Giggling Gang Green Grippe Group is no laughing matter.

I often wonder what kind of bathtub concoctions deep space folk might muddle together. #thread #SciFiFri
They had it #cornered, a #disease so #specific it only killed folk in their 20s. The #effort to wipe it from the galaxy had the centre for galactic disease control asking: was it worth it? After all, people grow out of their 20s. Time to cut the #cord.

He was fastidious. Cleanliness was an obsession. He wore gloves when he ventured out in the world & kept a bottle of sanitizer in his pocket. He was cognizant he may come into contact with germs occasionally, and he thought he was prepared until he swallowed a gnat. #scififri
Combinations might form, other than those intended: combinations which could grow and thrive. Mortals may die in waves at the hands of something – a #virus, perhaps, or a rogue protein – not even truly alive...

You’re going sit there and do your job and then owe me a favour because I have to sit here too and endure your stinky breath.
–Aww, that’s not fair!
–On the contrary, my friend, it’s _only_ fair.

–Uh-huh. So your “rare space disease” is in other words just the consequences of drinking moonshine all night.
–Yeh, you got me there, mate. So, may I be excused?
–In your dreams.

...and after the attack of the ferocious germs, you decided to neutralise the threat by drinking all the rubbing alcohol you could find, is that what I smell?
-Naah, I… Crikey, fine! I was playing cards with Reyes last night and it all ended as a real piss up.

–Think I might have caught some… rare space disease! Yeh, that’s it!
–Oh, have you now…
–Sure as eggs, mate! It must’ve been those germs that escaped from the doc’s lab the other arvo!
–Escaping germs, right…

–Ugh, I feel crook! Think I’m just gonna jump into my flannos, rug up under the doona and chuck a sickie on this one!
–One moment, Cadwell, let me fetch my dictionary…
–Very funny, Aldrich. Ha, ha.
–No, seriously, what’s wrong? By the way, what’s that smell?

The exoplanet looked more like the Arizona desert near the Chocolate Mts, or maybe the Borrego from the Salton Sea side than Earth-like.
"Lifeless!" Tim declared as they tramped back to the ship ... until they sighted furry fungus smothering it!🍄
“And there’s the fever.”
“Molly fever?” I ask, alarmed. “I heard it’s really bad.”
“No denying it. It’s a fiendish thing that spares no one.” He looks at Bridgie. Puckered scars spurt across her face, arms & throat like ice cracks in a frozen pond.

Good morning, Mr. Phelps. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to #SciFiFri your impossible little heart out. Should any of this #scifiart be caught or killed, the Secretary will deny all knowledge of its awesomeness.

#SciFiFri [So what happens when you meets the Aliens and they is Birds? You die of the ultimate Bird Flu? From v.8 Rare Birds]
#SciFiFri [1/6] “Birds often act as #disease vectors back on Earth. We might contract the ultimate avian influenza and carry it back to Earth and … ”
“Aw, I know that’s all true,” said Robbie in a disgruntled tone, “but I’m not going to listen to it right now. …
#SciFiFri [2/6] “What you said goes the other way, too. They cd contract incurable #diseases from us. A staph #germ out of somebody’s nose, or maybe our harmless intestinal flora, cd decimate them. & I daresay they’re thinking about that, because they’re obviously not stupid…”
#SciFiFri [3/6] Varunani Das asked tremulously, “What if they look at our biological samples and decide contact with us is too dangerous?”
This gave everybody an uncomfortable moment. Then Robbie said, “That works both ways. We could look at theirs …
#SciFiFri [4/6] … and decide it’s too dangerous to contact them. But for us it’s a little different. With certain death impending, I would say the risk of coming down with an incurable disease is worth taking.”
#SciFiFri [5/6] “You realize, don’t you?” asked Kibby, “that if we do manage to get home, EarthGov is likely to quarantine us for the duration.”
“Maybe so,” responded the Captain, “but I would say that if we do get home alive and in good health…
#SciFiFri [6/6] …we will have proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the benefit of having contact with this gaggle of geese far outweighs the risk.”
