When Journeymen in various houses and clans where reported to have gotten enhanced ability's for a short time and over aggressive and murderous tendencies, the Dark Council decided to investigate and found that the first reported "infection" came from Plagueis.

The "Infection" was referred to as a Plague due to the unknown source of which it came. Until the council knows more, no one will know for sure just what is going on.

Plague Effecting House Scholae Palatinae

Judecca where Ohmen is located.

When House Scholae Palatinae became aware of the Plague now known as Horizons, chaos and rioting had already broken out in Ohmen, Judecca. At first it seemed that the plague hadn't done much damage outside of the initial run in with the Arconan Dark Jedi Knight. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. The first week of the Plague wrought havoc on all Journeymen. Akatsuki Tamalar, the Rollmaster of House Scholae Palatinae began to notice that within the lower ranks, and newer recruits that something was amiss. The newcomers were stronger, faster, smarter and more efficient in the Force than had been seen in the history of the Dark Brotherhood. Akatsuki and Xan Phraz-Etar were charged with watching the incoming members from Lyspair while Xen'Mordin Vismorsus focused on solutions.

A week had passed, a long and bloody week. The Horizons Plague had spread to the Equites of Rank 2, and continued to strip The Force from those affected. Anger and resentment filled the ranks of the Dark Brotherhood as multitudes more were affected by this Plague, and it seemed those who were not affected were the targets of many. Battles and skirmishes broke out in multiple systems, causing more death and destruction among brothers. Many searched for a cure to this dread Horizons Plague, but none was to be found as of yet. It seemed that an unknown force was moving in upon the Dark Brotherhood. A force of warships, starships, soldiers, and innumerable resources. Every system within Dark Brotherhood space was under siege, and we were being slowly pushed back. The events on Judecca worsened over the past week as the Scholae Palatinae Journeyman and Equites rebelled against those still Force conscious. One of the most devastating events happened recently in Ohmen City as a Hospital was destroyed by a terrorist attack, killing many in the initial blast and effectively entombing those unlucky enough to be trapped inside. Terrorism had spread like wildfire throughout the city as tensions became palpable in the cities of Judecca. Akatsuki Tamalar and Xan Phraz-Etar had recently been affected by the Horizons Plague, and were doing their best to cope with the loss of the Force. The main priority remained getting Xen'Mordin Vismorsus to safety, but they surely felt the rage and resentment rising inside them. As of right now, Scholae Palatinae's forces are under siege from this unknown enemy, as well as the in-fighting amongst those who were affected and not. Chaos ensued in the Dark Brotherhood ranks, and there seemed to be no end to the madness of Horizons. Hopefully soon, we will find a cure.

Plague Effecting House Plagueis

The first reported incident came from Plagueis. It was good to have the Assistant to the Grand Master as the Aedile. Kal kept the house pretty informed but still unsure of the origins of this mysterious plague.

The Plague started out only affecting the weak journey men, But they did not stay weak. The Plague enhanced their strength and some of their force ability's. Some Journeymen were a little more resistant at first and they were assigned Equites to watch over them.

With the whole Dark Tower on lock-down, Primus Pilus acted as security in hopes to prevent anymore of the Horizons plague to spread. Unbeknownst to them, it was too late. The whole Brotherhood was in danger when the Equites started to get infected.

After several weeks of careful planning and tight security, Plagueis had faild to protect its Dark Tower as well as its home world as a whole. Kaspina fell and became uninhabitable and all surviving members had to flee to space.

Personal Observations of the Infected Journeymen of the Brotherhood

Kuro's Observation

Journey Entry

"Everyone is acting strange, I dont really mind it, makes me feel more at home that way" "I had to fight off a Guardian today, it was fun" "This little Acolyte tried to pick a fight with me, I humored him and spared alittle but something was off. This little man was stronger then a normal Acolyte, I mean he was, Strong!" "Riots have broken out and Tr'an have called for Primus to act as Security. Im loosing members of the Blade to some sickness, a plague the Council are calling "Horizons". sofar it only seems to be effecting Journeymen" "My head. The smell of blood is making me hungry. Kill everyone"

Kuro was not one for writing but as the plague went on and Kogarasu started to notice the changes going on around him, he wanted to record some thoughts, in case something happened to him and someone found his journal. As the Horizons plague went on, and more and more people got infected, more of the Elders and Equites started to fall victim to Horizons. When Kuro became infected, He liked the feeling. More strength to use to his will and inflect as much pain as he could, He was living it up.
