	You try to recall what you know about the sickness 
Š	called Bita Fever. During your studies of the Kai 
Š	curing skills you were told about this tropical 
Š	disease, but all you can recall is that it
	originated in the Bita Swamp of Dessi and that 
	it is usually only fatal in the very young or the 
Š	old. Healthy adults rarely die from it, although the 
Š	symptoms in those affected are unsightly. Victims 
Š	suffer a scarlet rash that often affects the face and 
Š	hands. A normally healthy person who contracts the 
Š	disease will usually recover completely within a 
Š	month.

	When you look at the faces of the mourners you notice 
Š	that many of them are red and swollen. The marines 
Š	have never before encountered this disease before, 
Š	and when you tell them what you know, they insist on 
Š	leaving at once,before the quarantine is put into 
Š	force.
