The Pathogen Plan

March 26th, 1656

The Mughal Empire, The region of Bengal, Kolkata 

In the city on the banks of the beautiful Kati-Ganga River, the lifeblood of Western Bengal, a huge change is taking place, unbeknownst to the Mughals.

A middle-aged man with a plain and normal appearance came out of his house, locked the door, and went into the main street. Though he walked in a normal manner, he was carrying a suitcase about the size of a desktop computer, which was unusual considering that it was not even daybreak.

The man casually walked to the third street from his home and suspiciously left the suitcase under a cowshed in a specific place, then left without looking back.

Soon after, what appeared to be a street sweeper with a ragged and unkempt appearance entered the shed and went straight to the hidden suitcase, as if he already knew it would be there.
