Removel Sickness and Code Corruption

Removel sickness, ban sickness, code corruption or just corruption, this sickness is called by many names.
"The lass was hit square in the chest with a charged ban hammer. She screamed in pain as her body was focally dematerialized and set to the void. Then again as she spawned back in a dim room. The glitching began, random sections of her body would disappear to the void and the reaper still feeling as if they where in the void. This lasted for hours, after it finally stopped she just laid there her body stiff, aching, and sore. The flesh where she has been hit by the ban hammer marred by dark purple blocky scars."
-an excerpt from Dupya's Journals
