The Sickness

The Sickness refers to a certain affliction that occurs to victims of the Operator's influence.

Description
Known physical symptoms of the Sickness include coughing, nausea, vomiting and exhaustion, while mental symptoms can include paranoia and bouts of amnesia. The severity of the symptoms worsen the longer one is exposed to the Operator, or if the Operator is nearby, such as coughing up blood and longer periods of memory loss,. The symptoms are also particularly worse for proxies and former proxies of the Operator.

It is implied the Sickness is a form of radiation sickness, due to the Sigma radiation that the Operator and his proxies emit.

Eyeless Jack is notably unaffected by the Operator's influence, and therefore does not suffer from symptoms of the Sickness despite significant exposure to the latter.
