Carbon Plague (V3)

The Carbon Plague was a nanotech plague that effected Night City in 2020 or 2022.
==Background==
The Carbon Plague incident occurred when a corporate aerodyne crashed on the outskirts of Night City. Over the following two weeks, the Carbon Plague killed roughly 4000 affected adults but gave while giving those under 18 various nanotech-based mutations. During this time, in the Center of Disease Control's Washington, D.C.'s complex Doctor David Chiang began researching the plague and found its cure two weeks later.
In his research, Dr. Chiang discovered that the Carbon Plague was a form of rapidly-reproducing nanites that fed off CO² and heat and was able to move large amounts of material at the molecular level rapidly. Following this, Chiang was able to adapt the nanites to programmed and instructed by computers and began to refer to them as "Nanotechnix", which became the foundation of many forms of technology such as Livemetal, Adaptive Nanosymbotes, Nu Cybe, and the Transformation Virus injection systems used by members of the Reef.
