( he may or may not have some dark circles under his eyes when he flicks on his communicator, but otherwise Peter doesn't look any more worse for the wear. he's always tired, isn't he? this isn't something new.
he's more than tired, though, he's on a mission. this mission hits a little too close to home, especially thanks to their last. they're surrounded by more people that can't help themselves, and he doesn't want it to go down the way it did last time. in Perdition's Rest he didn't say anything, but this time? Peter isn't incapable of taking a stance without his mask on, after all, and if he's willing, it generally means he's all the more emotionally invested. there's too much of a chance at helping the infected to stay quiet, or at least, he thinks so. despite the bad news printed all over the information Sonia had shared with him. )
I know things are bad. I have eyes, we all know stuff is getting bad. I just want to make sure we're not losing sight of something that we shouldn't ever lose sight of. ( he rubs at an eye, as if he can rub the weariness away. so far, no luck, but he does keep trying. ) These people are dangerous, and volatile, and scary, but that's just it. They are still people. If you take unnecessary, extreme action against them? You're killing a person. A person we could save, if we all work together to find a cure.
If it comes down to living or dying, then... then that's one thing. ( though he still sounds reluctant, bless his idiot heart. ) If you can immobilize them over killing them, then maybe we could have a shot at saving them. We've got sedatives that can help you get away instead of hurting or killing. We lost so many people in Perdition's Rest, I want to believe we can do better than that here. I hope I'm not the only one who thinks that.
( a sigh. he doesn't know if that lecture is going anywhere. he just feels like he has to say it. ) Has anyone found a place we could keep infected in isolation? Get them off the streets and keep them from hurting themselves or others, and have them available to keep working on the cure. ( that, and while he's at it... ) If you're willing, I need some samples of infected and non-infected blood. I'm trying to put together a test of some sort, I just don't have enough samples yet. It's a stretch, I know, but I think I can do it. ( he does sound fairly confident, for what that is worth... though who knows how capable a teenage boy is, right??? trust his confidence with caution. ) If I can make a test, we can find those carrying the virus, even if they're not symptomatic yet. Any attempts at a cure will work better if we can administer it sooner. Let me know if you're willing.
( he doesn't offer much of a goodbye, simply signing off. )

And let me know if you see someone who's indiscriminately killing the people here. I'll see what I can do about it.
no subject
( which is also the most dangerous kind of sample to collect, unfortunately.
as for naming names, that's a harder answer to give. ) Yeah. ( that might be an agreement, it might just be an acknowledgement of the request. hard to say. )
no subject
[It feels like a good idea to put them together. Audentes has a hard time grouping up, which Peter had said before. There's no reason to not try to improve that now.]
no subject
( ALASTAIR is not known for teamwork, but at least the scientifically minded individuals were good at working together. sadly there were limits even to the brainpower of Audentes; they could only do so much in the time they had. )
no subject
Just make sure none of you get sick. We're gonna be in trouble if we lose you.
no subject
( it's a worthy focus of attention, though Peter would have appreciated more minds set on a cure. he sort of feels off on an island on his own on that one. though, one could lead to another — split focus was probably for the best. )
I don't think any of us are intending to get sick. We'll be careful.
no subject
no subject
I'll make one.
no subject
[Keith just ... hopes it's not necessary.]
no subject
( if they run out of scientifically minded individuals in ALASTAIR to work on the fix, what was going to happen to this world? an ugly thought indeed. )
no subject
[Better things to say here are, for example: "It won't." Or "Don't worry. It can't get that bad."
But Keith is already in the realm of pessimism and has been from day one.]
no subject
I'll let you know if I need anything more.
no subject
It might not be legal, but it's not like a criminal record is gonna matter here before long.
[Though his job has grown risky as of late, for very obvious reasons.]
no subject
That's good to know. Though, just a reminder to not get caught anyway. We don't have time to get stuck in legal red tape.
no subject
[Yes, it's not a bold statement, or one that leaves a lot of room for responses, but Keith is certain about this. Anything he's doing is for the good of the team. Besides, he's not like the violent looters, so ... it counts for something.]
no subject
( they might be capable of busting teammates out of trouble, but it's better for all of them if they don't have to. more time to focus on a cure and the mission itself that way. )
