[Fiona is a little out of breath, like she just hustled very quickly away from somewhere. Which she did, but that's neither here nor there. The background behind her is some innocuous wood panelling; she's in a house.]

Okay. So. Crunch time. Things are getting nuts out there, if you didn't notice. We are gonna wind up super screwed if we don't hop to figuring out what the hell to do.

[She holds up a vial. It has some alien writing on it, as well as a familiar symbol on the label.]

We found this inside the hospital. A shit-ton of them, actually. So who wants to find out what Zymandis asshole is responsible for this mess and beat an antidote out of them?



[ ooc. PS, maya, hanzo, and mccree might show up in your threads. feel free to threadjack as well! ]

Zymandis again, huh...

[ and here he thought this was just a case of mother nature being a stone cold bitch. what a fool he was. ]

I feel like maybe I should have known. But yeah, regardless, it should go without saying that I'm down for beating the shit out of whoever did this.

[ antidote or not, to be honest. this is Not Okay. ]

[moneyballer]

Would that work though?

[Seeing as they've brought up the Taraxa-]

If the body you poked was inhabited by somethin' else?

[pummelling]

[EVEN IF HE'D LIKE TO HIT THIS GUY TOO.... HE'S NOT NAMING NAMES.....]

Let's just worry about finding him.

[moneyman]

...Wait, why does it have to be in the dick?

[ because it's emasculating?? he's confused. ]

[moneyballer]

Adam Bristol was the first to catch the virus, that much we know. Everybody does.

[He looks into the camera, nodding.]

He was a teenager who went to the hospital for an ear infection, and...

[Asher shakes his head to either side.]

I don't know what happened between the mall fiasco and now, exactly, but...

He's out cold. The feds got him.

[Connect the dots.]

Not dead, just unconscious.

[cashlin]

That's the spirit, buddy.

[she's so pumped tbh]

I'm going secondhand off what everybody's saying here, so tell me if I'm totally screwing this up: these Zymandis jerks are messing with ALASTAIR why, exactly? Thought we were the only intergalactic timeline squad on the block, this is new to me.

[moneyballer]

No, it's because they look like dicks-

[asher please don't say that as if you are clarifying something important]

[moneyballer]

[he knows he Fucked Up so now he is doing the human equivalent of sad dog whining]

I was just trying to help, I...

I got too excited, I guess.

[feytality]

[Give Into The Idiots]

Fine, but I expect juicy details and Asher's embarrassing secrets!

[conqueress]

A timely offer.

[ Yes, good; the queen approves of this magic sword use. ]

[pummelling]

And the Taraxa, once they leave their hosts--

[take everything with them, leaving the minds wiped completely; blank slates, at best, vegetative at worst.]

Shit. This is big, Asher. You were with Miles when you figured that out, right? You two have to tell everybody about that.

[whatshimadayou]

As you do, on occasion. [SEVERAL]

It is all right. Try to remain focused on the mission.

[pummelling]

There are none. He's not great at keeping the embarrassing secrets secret, if you haven't gathered.

[ok that's a lie but]

By the way, nice work getting all this intel. What the heck did you guys even do? Dig through the trash?

[feytality]

Yeah, but I figured there are some things so embarrassing even he keeps them secret. Like.. A big ol' crush on you!

[She looks pleased at the praise]

Yeah, actually. It was hidden in the hospital trash! [And by that she means she stuck her hands in a biohazard waste bin.... Don't be proud of this, Jin]

[twinpeak]

I'm a pro at stealth, just like I told you. [ Okay no to be honest he's just as surprised Feferi and he were able to pull it off... ] I wouldn't compromise the position you got either—there's the rest of us to do all the digging.

[ As evidenced. ]

1/2

[pummelling]

[he's going to comment on the big embarrassing crush but

oh

my GOD

MAYA??????]

[pummelling]

The hospital trash in the middle of a pandemic--

[MAYA HOLY SHIT]

Did you wear gloves?!

[twinpeak]

Well— [ She isn't wrong, he lives for this stuff. ] I wish it didn't have to be like this, you know?

[ People are getting turned into something they never wanted to become, others are dying, the town is in a state of panic... It's entirely possible that things will never go back to normal. ]

[figureitout]

Yeah, I'm willing to bet most of the stuff we found in the sewers was his. Or there because of him, anyway.

[ it's okay Keith, neither does Stiles — but determination gets you far. he pauses to think for a moment, pulling up a picture of a bag of clothing: neatly folded, a variety of styles, but all in the same size. quietly thanking the powers that be for the magitek, he sends the picture to Keith. ]

See that? I found those in the sewers. All in the same size... that's a strong indication whoever put those clothes there worked alone.

[moneyballer]

[that's just the kind of bitch she is, asher has learned

maya stickyfingers fey]

[pummelling]

[this is why u have gotten tried for murder like 20 times maya what the fuq]

[selfimage]

It's a blade bathed in blood of an ancient curse. It's old magic, and not much can escape that.

[moneyballer]

I will.

[He just hopes they'll be able to get out of it alive.]

Uhhh, so...

You were with the other people who found this stuff, huh? Were you expectin' any of it at all?

[moneyballer]

[someone needs to give him this handout in the place of a birthday card]

[figureitout]

... So they did this on purpose. Created a virus, infected Adam Bristol, and let it sit until it'd get alarming enough that we'd get sent here.

[ it. sounds more plausible than you'd think. Keith may be thinking jumping to a conclusion like this is hasty, but Stiles is more than willing to believe the worst immediately. ]

You think our team was the intended target, or just any ALASTAIR field team?
