Nina was a part of the Stacy propaganda division and everyday she played a game called 'fourteen nights', a game played on dyingWomen square (it had been renamed), in which people shot each other with paint and the usage of low level (mostly souls that were only able to do what a normal human was able to do) souls also was allowed. There were also higher level soul class matches, but none were as competitive as the low level soul class 'fourteen nights' matches ( established short form: foTeNight ). The game was about the massacre that had happened on the former dyingMen square, in which only 4 competitors did survive. In foTeNight, no one has to die as it is just a free for all paint shooter and if you are hit, you are out. The last 4 participants would be declared winner and gained all the money in the pool plus sponsor money (Karol/Legion/Stacy or plain old propaganda advertisments). There is also an extra rule that states that the people remaining after fourteen days will be seen as winners, so 4 women was not the maximum, but also a worse outcome for all competitors as the pool would be split among them. Teams of four naturally emerged, some of these teams had traitors. These traitors had banded together in teams of four, which then all betrayed their team in order to unite - or not.

One can quickly see that these dividing dynamics would make the game a highly complex challenge way beyond a normal paintshooter, and that was why it was so entertaining to watch a high number of women and their weak souls fighting against each other in the game foTeNight. Nina was a very successful gamer, but she had died from sickma.

The desease spread to WhoLand when a bad foTeNight player had left the scene to become a fisher instead. This marked the begin of the sickma pandemic, a pandemic that was way worse than the cyanococcus as there was no known cure for sickma.

Strangely males who were previously prime candidates for becoming sickma males, now were completely sickma free. This could also be because of Joshua, but work seemed to spread the sickness extraordinarily well - most likely an engineered bioweapon, it fit the narritive of propaganda, but not the fact that sickma had been a thing before Karol had taken over. There seemed to be more behind this, a rabbithole that had to be explored.

Stacy member and scientist Lana Risk was on the case of Ninas death from sickma. Where did she get the desease, how did she get infected, what was the exact mechanism behind this? She had not yet awakened her soul yet, but the case would help her, she felt that.

Currently she was in WhoLand, something was off about the ocean, the water was unnaturally black and was in the process of rising. Fish still got cought in the world wide net, but they were in different states of decay, the jobs of many were at stake. This was where sickma really took off, was there a connection between sickma and the strange phenomenon affecting the sea?
