Experiments had happened. Interesting discoveries were made.

The earliest of which was that the Worgen Curse seemed to [i][b]hate[/b][/i] the Plague of Undeath on a fundamental level. The early attempt to distill the two into liquid forms and mix them together had ended in a violent manner; Bautic had witnessed oil and water maintaining separation and chemicals react to each other in an explosive fashion before, but this was honestly the first time he had witnessed two liquids engage in a full on fight to the death with each other inside of the vial. It was the only way to truly describe what he had witnessed. 

It was fascinating in a frustrating way. 

The tests to infect worgen with the Plague likewise ended in interesting results due to the fact that the illness completely failed to find purchase in their bodies. At least, while they were [i]alive[/i]. Once they were [i]dead[/i], whatever protection that the curse had been providing them disappeared... or at least weakened enough for them to be raised. The nature of what it was that the Worgen seemed to share with the Nerubians that offered them such immunity to the Plague while alive was still unknown. 

Interestingly enough, Bautic was able to note a... [i]quirk[/i] of this immunity. Something that [i]could[/i] make this whole enterprise worthwhile. 

The Curse seemed to make the Worgen immune to the Plague; However it didn't do so by stopping the Plague dead as it might appear on the surface. The Plague, from what Bautic could tell, still infected the Worgen, but the curse prevented it from digging in and really doing anything. The way that Bautic had come to picture it, the Curse was an advanced form of the body's natural defenses against illness. It attacked the Plague so aggressively that it simply didn't get the chance to really get started and the Curse would sooner or later wipe the body clean of Plague. 

The thing was, if the Worgen [i]died[/i] while the Plague was still active in their body, then the Plague would do what it did best and raise the corpse into undeath. Exactly how [i]long[/i] the Plague remained active in a living Worgen body before it was destroyed was still to be worked out. How to infect a number of people with both the worgen curse and the plague of undeath before reliably killing them before the curse defeated the plague was also a question to be solved... but Bautic could see the outlines of a plan. He just needed a little more time and creativity to bring it all together and history would be made.
