The Ravages of the Dancing Plague

The 'Dancing Plague' has taken a turn for the worse. At first, our medics took to using heavy sedatives to stop the dancers from dancing themselves to death. However, as they themselves were increasingly affected by the symptoms, the remaining medics were unable to cope, and scores of … have collapsed from exhaustion. With more of the colonists affected by the day, this has gone far beyond the harmless joke we had thought it to be. We must take immediate action to rid ourselves of this plague, once and for all!
