[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! ]

They were carrying on by making the process go faster in Perdition's Rest. This is an oddly slow burn scheme to destroy a Timeline. Even at the rate it's going, it might take years to utterly obliterate the population of this world.

Like any theory, it has holes in it, but considering we know that Zymandis is the mother organization, it's not unreasonable to assume they can pick and choose Timelines to kickstart a crisis on, just for the sake of luring ALASTAIR out.

And even if they didn't intend for it to be a trap at the beginning, they have to know by now that we're here and coming close to a solution, and yet we haven't had any surprise attacks like we did in Perdition's Rest.

The fact is, if we assume there's a trap, we'll tread more cautiously, but I don't think any of this can be written off as coincidence. I'll be pleasantly surprised if it is, but it doesn't hurt to prepare for the worst case scenario.

[ McCree, for all his boisterous swagger, is a careful and quiet listener--at least when he needs to be. He doesn't interrupt as Urahara talks, though he makes a couple of 'hm' noises now and then. His time in black ops has taught him to be open to anything, and he surely is--but it's also taught him that theories need concrete evidence. ]

Thing is, partner, I ain't so sure they got much of an infrastructure here. All the data we got on this doc suggests he ain't real professional. Tells me this wasn't a carefully planned op.

[he can read between the lines here, and he puts on a good show of being awkward about it.]

Ah... Well, normally I wouldn't even propose such a grand theory without proof, but we're being pushed into a corner here. Some of our teammates may already be infected, and people are out for blood. Conditions are ripe for someone to spring a trap on us.

There's something to be said about having a legitimate reason to tread carefully, even if it's just based on conjecture.

[flashbanging]

You ain't wrong on that score. People gettin' too riled up for sure.

[ He taps the brim of his hat, winking. ]

I always tread careful.

[predomination]

I'm the same way, but our even temperaments are sometimes in the minority here. [it's a problem to be sure.]

[flashbanging]

Reckon I can't blame'em too bad. This virus ain't no joke. Can't say I ever seen anything like it.

[predomination]

[he has, though not anything that spreads so quickly, even if it is slow by Zymandis's standards.]

I just hope we can get out of this without killing each other- one way or another.

[flashbanging]

You and me both. I'll keep lookin' for fresh evidence, meantime. Try not to let them theories get too wild, darlin'.

[predomination]

[he chuckles] I'm only making sure I plan for every possible outcome. But I'll try my best.
