Just so you know, I’m stealing this idea, and will use it both during ttrpg play, and in a short story I’ve been looking for a good disease to work around.
If published, I’ll credit you under whatever name you prefer, if you want credit.

OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe@lemmy.world 1 year agoI want star trek space babble explanations for medical problems. I want house to tell me that it’s not a disease, it’s a parasite, one that exists only when we’re looking for it. A quantum parasite.

That’s some straight-up Welcome To Night Vale medical horror. Like a plague of fatal politeness, or Langdon’s basilisk. Which in D&D might just be a photograph of an actual basilisk.

No credit necessary. Be sure to include a whole bit about house seeing things on the holodeck when he hasn’t turned them on, or him recognizing that he’s actually still on the ship and not on another planet because he still feels the full amount of pain in his leg and it’s not reduced like in low g.

Now we could easily fix the quantum parasite with the transporters only I’m not going to do that because that’s to easy. So instead I’m going to inject you with Borg nanobots, and can you assimilate Foreman when he comes in because his whole job is to suffer.
