[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?

[SIGHS]

You've said worse, it's fine.

Besides. Apart from being in poor taste as usual, at least I know you're okay with people knowing about us.

[moneyballer]

[Asher, to some degree, is prepared for the onslaught of judgment they will get. Not for being men in a relationship, but for being together despite being so different, despite one person clearly having far more of some things than the other.]

Are you?

[He remembers, vaguely, Jin mentioning that while he wasn't hiding exactly, he wasn't going to don a rainbow cape and frolic all over the place.]

[cachemoney]

Can you guys move your fucking soap opera somewhere else.

[pummelling]

We're done, leave him be.

[cachemoney]

That was also directed at you.

[pummelling]

It's an open network. I can talk about what I want.

[JIN IT'S OVER LEAVE IT BE]

Like I said. We're done.

[cachemoney]

[She pauses, face screwing up in disbelief.] You're aware some of our team is infected, right. And, like, maybe now isn't the best time for this kind of skagshit. Did that cross your mind? At all?

[pummelling]

Yes? Which is why we were going to stop without you getting in our faces about it.

[cachemoney]

Oh, okay. See, I was confused, because you started in the first place.

[She's just stressed out because her own bae is sick, sorry Jin.]

[moneyballer]

Sorry! Sorry.

[HE REALLY MEANS IT OKAY-]

So... We're gonna go after the guy who started this?

[cachemoney]

[ur fine, boo, she's just ON EDGE.] One hundred percent, yes. He's giving up information on a cure or I'm putting a gun in his mouth myself.

[moneyballer]

We don't know if they have a cure, though.

[It's possible, but these Zymandis folk don't really seem to care what happens to people who aren't their own.]

And, don't get me wrong, I'm all for dealing these bad dudes a fistful of justice to the face, but...

I was talkin' to Urahara, and this is startin' to sound like a set up.

[cachemoney]

A set-up how?

[moneyballer]

So, Zymandis knows what we do, theoretically... If we can trust the files that were just released a while back.

Because ALASTAIR used to be Zymandis.

They're just tryin' to do different thing, that happen to really clash with each other, like, hella. There's a chance that they started this to get us here so they could take us down, maybe.

[And get rid of a potential thorn in their side.]

With the virus, or-

[He doesn't even want to think about it.]

Something else.

[cachemoney]

[She didn't think of that, and she frowns as she mulls it over.] That's... possible, but.

[Something doesn't sound right about it.]

We're just one team. Would they go through all that trouble for just eighty of us?

[pummelling]

We're in the middle of the zombie apocalypse, Asher. If not now, when?

...Besides, I don't think any of our teammates actually care. [how many of yall are gay like... rly] Not that I'd care if they did. You're my boyfriend, dummy.

Uh. [gods that was way too earnest for the network. He looks vaguely flustered, and hastily segues into--] Now, about this maybe being Taraxa again?

[moneyballer]

[He loves you, boo.

Now onto more pressing matters.]

Okay so, Taraxa, uuuuum, let's see...

We know that they don't have bodies of their own most of the time, 'cuz they gank 'em.

[Take up hosts.]

They tend to enter through the ear.

And you can shrivel 'em up with salt, yeah? If you can squeeze 'em out, that is.

That's what I remember.

[pummelling]

So they're mind-controlling slugs from space who wriggle into your orifices like a horror movie. Gross.

[date a boy who brings out the inner 12 yr old in u~*~*~]

I see the similarities too, but how can we be sure that Zymandis was using Taraxa agents again? We need evidence.

[moneyballer]

Shit.

[Oh no, oh no.

He had meant to call Urahara, but then that happened on the way back home.]

I didn't tell you about the body.

[pummelling]

Wait, what? What body?

[OH MY GOD YOU HAVE BEEN ROOMMATES THIS WHOLE TIME GUYS]

[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.

[ex_adept136]

I'll be brief since we've got business to attend to, but congrats guys. I'm glad for you.

[Thumbs up and everything alright]

[pummelling]

[this is still a very mortifying way for whoever on the team was following this to find out, but at least Haise was nice about it.]

Um, thanks. [;;;;;]

[ex_adept136]

Sometime maybe I can ask you about it.

[Not that he hasn't been reading along. He sure has.

He reads everything he can get his hands on, alright...]

For now, let's do our best.

[pummelling]

[oh no, haise read about the sex confession.........]

Right! Right. Back to business.
