On every device in the life sphere set up to allow for emergency broadcasts, the regular programming would be abruptly interrupted with live video featuring a young girl in a pink outfit standing in what appears to be a laboratory. She addresses the camera with an anxious smile, not ... entirely comfortable with public speaking. However, it had been deemed appropriate that she should take credit for her own work, rather than passing it off onto a leader. Mostly out of a fear of unduly sparking some unexpected political tensions, what with the ongoing Abolitionist controversy and all. Else, she probably would've been happy to let herself be named without actually appearing, but here she was.
"Ahem. ...Citizens of the Life Sphere, I need your attention for just a moment to discuss the ongoing Starvia threat. My name is Doctor Ciel, and I... have created a cure for the starvia."
Ciel paused, discreetly taking a deep breath. Now that she was over the hill, she needed only to finish with the technical details.
"Now, I should clarify that this is no miracle cure. It requires resources to make, nurses to administer, and time to work. It won't win us the war on its own, making enough to cure the entire planet's inhabitants is well beyond our current resources, not to mention the logistics of capturing and safely transporting infected individuals and the risks of being around them during treatment. But it can help us get back some of our friends. And given enough time and effort, maybe it can save everyone." Ciel explained, again pausing to catch her breath for just a moment before continuing.
"...Much of the issue with curing the starvia has historically been that the starvia corrupts the cells in your body, and that any effort to simply purge the starvia from the body would also purge the infected cells. By slowing down the treatment process, I was able to eliminate the probability of sudden and unavoidable death. I expect the average person to need two weeks of treatment before they are 'cured' and a month before lingering symptoms of weakness, sickness, and delirium fade during which it would be best for them to remain under care. After that, a minimum second month of physical therapy should be taken to heal injuries caused by atrophy and the illness itself. During that first two weeks, patients must be under constant surveillance and steps must be taken to make sure medical professionals are on-site to treat them, as partially infected organs do not... function well." Ciel finished, seeming to have some mild difficulty discussing the actual treatment process judging by her expression of discomfort. In truth, it was a pretty grueling experience for both the victims and anyone treating them. It had made her very reluctant to accept that this was the best she could do.
"...At this time, I would like to encourage all of you to find some time in the near future to get access to a computer terminal and update your records with a list of loved ones and emergency contacts. These lists will be referenced when infected individuals are brought in and positively identified, and you'll be notified if and when they do. Thank you for your time. I'm ... looking forward to a more peaceful future." Ciel finished, looking like she was about to lose her composure through a mixture of anxiety and exhaustion.
