[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! ]

Has there been any progress on a vaccine?

[ the ideal would have been a cure so the sick could have a chance. the reality is unfolding differently.

watch this space for how his tune changes when he discovers who are among the infected. ]

[predomination]

We have a fairly good shot at a preventative measure now, I think.

[it's not good enough for him, regardless, but it's a start.]

[apoptotic]

It's something. [ on that, at least, they're in agreement. ] If we can at least curb the rate of infection…

[ the corners of his mouth turn down. ]

Going public with a vaccine could force present agents to reveal themselves. We'll need to be ready for that.

[ where there's one gun, there's usually another. anakin doesn't want another raid. woodhurst, unlike perdition's rest, is not ready for one, wouldn't even admit the possibility until it was over their heads. between the epidemic and a firefight…the odds for the people don't look good. ]

Of course. And we'll have to make sure our people on the inside are pulled out in time. If they're in the hospital, then they probably already know what we're up to. And if they haven't sabotaged us yet, they might still try it if pressed. And that's the best case scenario.

[apoptotic]

So when we first set foot here, we'd already walked into a trap.

[ and, strangely, despite the direness of the situation, anakin smiles faintly. ]

Next move is obvious: spring the trap.

[ preferably while that's still a choice under their control. ]

[predomination]

And that's precisely why I've pointed this out. Zymandis is clever and they've been bested by us before. Our only hope is to assume they'll be prepared for us and make certain we're prepared for them.

It's going to be quite the showdown.
