A medical report has detailed a twenty-fold increase in infection rates over the past ten years of the sexually transmitted disease VODAIS (Viral Overactive Dysfunction of the Auto-Immune System). People all over the nation are petitioning that the government do something about the epidemic.

"Supplying drugs and condoms will not stop VODAIS infections and forcing everyone to be celibate will be the slow death of Illumitia," whispers Health Minister Charles Patel in a poorly-lit back room. "Segregating the infected people is the most effective method. Everybody in Illumitia must be tested for VODAIS. Then all the VODAIS positive people will be shipped to separate gated communities away from the rest of us. If they need to mingle with uninfected people, then they must wear distinguishing badges that feature a Grim Reaper holding a skeletal rat."
