So, I was thinking of a sort of different idea compared to my last one, which I have abandoned, and this is what I've come up with. So, it's a note written in an unknown language on an old piece of paper, with various strange and macabre drawings on it. Those that maintain close contact for more than about 5 minutes will begin to experience some memory loss, as well as losing the ability to use language. This slowly gets worse and worse until all attempts to communicate result in a response in an incomprehensible babble. They also get a lot more reclusive, and when given a writing utensil they will scribble on the nearest surface in something vaguely resembling an unknown script. Attempts to decipher it have been futile. Subjects usually die within 12-24 months of contact, from unknown and seemingly unrelated clauses. Monitoring brain activity during this time shows that they have fully normal brain function, and it appears that they are fully aware of what's happened to them.
Thoughts?
