Today we'll start with a brief overview of Sumatera Influenza and its effects on the world.

This form of the H5N1 virus, dubbed Sumatera Flu, is rarely fatal to us. You might have been sick with it already and became well again, or you may be a carrier with no ill effects. However it was extremely harmful to humanity.

There was a pandemic, a global spread of the disease, starting with the first cases in 2068. Two years later, seventy percent of the human population had died of it and many of the rest were not immune. Human governments decided to target us to prevent further spread.

We'll start on Project Carneades and the war in the next module, but for now, only ten percent of humans died in battle. When the humans surrendered and signed the truce agreements they were only four point six percent of the number alive in 2068.

Today's humans are mostly descended from those who were resistant to the disease, but it can still claim their children or weakened individuals. As most of you know we have charitable programs to vaccinate and care for them, which meet with some resistance on both sides. If you have human friends or work on the reservation, please do be careful for their sake.
Cause: Speculations over a dearth of humans.
