The cause of the Nethlaham Incident

Transmission & Vectors

Though Direct contact with infected cybernetics to un affected cybernetics, which take 5 minutes to fully take over said cybernetics.

Causes

Vestige Nano Machines.

Symptoms

Cybernetics instantly take on a rust like color and morph on there own will and will even create new parts. This can cause sever pain depending on the type of cybernetic.

Treatment

Electromagnetic pulse, but depending on the number of cybernetics a person has, this could very well kill them.

Prognosis

It seeks to spread, and will do anything to do so, not only infecting cybernetics but regular technology. After 5 minutes if the nano machines haven't been dealt with the only cure is death and if a target dies while the nano machines are still active they will override and resurrect the body.

Sequela

Infects the brain, causes intense hatred for the uncybernetic and a longing to share and grow with those who are cybernetic.

Prevention

Magnets are shown to repel the machines and of course non mechanical creations.

Epidemiology

Can only be passed through contact, but it doesn't matter how much a single touch is enough.

History

The Nethlaham Incident is the only known time this has gotten out of hand. It was the first order to Glass a Planet given to humanity.
