"Contagious disease strikes the maternity ward?!"

According to several eyewitness reports, it would seem that all patients admitted to the maternity ward of Sacred Heart Hospital in Keen Sight have been struck by a mysterious affliction.

The hospitalized women in various stages of pregnancy have simultaneously experienced symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and, in severe cases, loss of consciousness and temporary paralysis.

As we wait for confirmation from hospital officials and city hall, we urge the friends and relatives of the people hospitalized in this department to contact us with any news on the status of their loved ones and the babies in their wombs.

"Sacred Heart Hospital Case: Details from City Hall"

After three days of intense rumors regarding a mysterious disease in the maternity ward of Sacred Heart Hospital, city authorities have at last shed new light on the matter at hand.

Late yesterday evening, an urgent press conference was held at city hall where Marshall Donovan, the spokesman for the mayor, confirmed that an epidemic had in fact occurred, although it was immediately rectified thanks to the diligent efforts of medical staff.

In addition, it was not possible to divulge further details due to a ongoing and sensitive investigation in progress.<cf>More importantly, however, it has been confirmed that the afflicted female patients are free of danger due to a special treatment developed in haste by specialists at Hexacore Biogenetics.

According to these reports, this treatment will not affect the mothers and unborn children in any negative way.

"Exclusive: New Details on Contagion at Sacred Heart Hospital"

Our confidential sources have offered new information that, if confirmed, could shed a rather disturbing light on the mysterious contagious disease, which struck the maternity ward of Sacred Heart Hospital in recent weeks.

According to our sources, pregnant women were unwitting victims of a biological nerve agent infection. This particular agent is used in combat and treated with atropine - the same remedy used on patients in the maternity ward.

We therefore ask ourselves, at this point, how this is even possible and if the parties involved are as powerful as one might think.

"Sacred Heart Case: Keen Sight Police Dept. Break Silence with Disturbing Revelations!"

This morning, the Keen Sight Police Department broke its silence on the case involving Sacred Heart Hospital, revealing an unbelievable and incredible twist. According to Police Chief Lambert, who emphasized that lack of information by police was important to their investigation, the outbreak was in fact malicious in nature.

The suspect is J. Preijers, a nurse of the maternity ward, who is believed to have suffered a mental breakdown and intentionally infected patients ward with hazardous materials stored in the laboratory for safe keeping.

The rest is speculative as, perhaps in a desperate act of guilt, the suspect attempted to flee the city with authorities in pursuit and lost control of her vehicle atop Silent Cliff Road, falling to the edge of Bear River and crashing into the coast 40 meters below.

According to police, the suspect is presumed dead, even though a body is not expected to be recovered due to strong currents in surrounding area.

With no way to verify the true motivations of this heinous she-devil and with patients in the maternity ward returning to their normal lives, the case is now closed. And along with it, the most disturbing and terrible pages in the history of our peaceful little town.
