Quest text from Jaeger

Hello. Tell me, are you feeling healthy? There's been talk of some kind of disease, either from the Lab or somewhere else. I even had a “witness” come in, clearly gone mental.

He told me about the living dead who bleed themselves and hunt people. I tell you what, I've heard many such tales before.

Yet the man's grayed hair and that look in his eyes... He's definitely seen something sinister. Maybe some looters mutilated a corpse for fun, or some poor bastard spilled acid on himself.

In any case, I think you should look into that story. You know how panic spreads around this place.
