The Ruin Plague

Summary
The Ruin Plague, known to survivors as the Death Virus, is a virulent bloodborne infection from the medical disaster story, After The Fall, as well as the companion guides, Case File #3924 - "The Ruin Plague" and The Survivors' Diary.

Origin of the pathogen
The pathogen was originally discovered by leading biologist Professor Ivalina K.Pilensji in a small Russian town after several reports of residents acting strange and displaying bizarre physical symptoms unlike the initial diagnosis of rabies. Professor Pilensji was draughted in with her research team to study the mysterious infection and its effects on the human body. Whilst studying the virus, the professor documented her personal findings in Case File #3924, where she wrote about her theories on the virus' true origins. She believes the virus to have mutated from a compound found in the nearby river.

Pilensji and her team quarantined the town and began rounding up small groups of people from the town to experiment on so they could study the pathogen

Ivalina eventually named the newly found infection 'The Ruin Plague' after the song 'My Name is Ruin' by British artist, Gary Numan.
