origins (a drabble)

the big plague killed billions of settlers at the center of the galaxy. so closely gathered, the big plague leaped from planet to planet within a matter of years.

her station created it. the by-product of a simple test, done over and over and over until the results were indisputable, and the devastation was unstoppable.

in a scrabble, survivors created an anti-virus from the strains of previous testing’s and set up 6 pods--one in each direction--with 6 carriers.

but without proper care, the research station was unsustainable. the explosion was devastating, and only one pod escaped the blast.
